4905 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The three-story, two-unit residential building at 4905 12th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Jacob Wertheimer, was constructed in 1930 and has undergone several notable events in recent years.
Most significantly, the building has experienced recurring water leak issues, with two documented slow leak complaints in late 2023 and early 2024, though these complaints were closed with no violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). A recent inspection on May 29, 2024, revealed multiple open violations, including the need for ceiling and wall repainting in the first and second-story public halls, repairs to a defective self-closing door in the vestibule, and the restoration of fire-retardant plaster at the second-story ceiling.
The building has also faced administrative challenges, including three consecutive years (2021-2023) of open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. Most recently, in December 2023, a complaint was filed regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy status, which remained unresolved as of November 2024 due to an inspector's inability to gain access during the final inspection attempt.
