6802 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, two-family house at 6802 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Joseph Elkallassy, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant issues occurring in September 2023. During this period, the building faced multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints, including violations related to heat/hot water for the entire building, as well as cooking gas and water supply problems.

While some of these complaints were initially filed separately, they were ultimately consolidated and addressed through inspections between September 23-27, 2023. The building, constructed in 1930, has a history of indoor air quality concerns documented in 2018, with multiple complaints regarding chemical vapors, gases, odors, and ventilation issues, though these were subsequently addressed and closed.

More recently, in 2024, there was a health department investigation regarding food worker hygiene at a food establishment connected to the property, though the specific nature of this connection is unclear based on the available data. The property has also faced some regulatory scrutiny regarding an illegal storefront or business sign, with a violation served in June 2024. Historical records from 2018 show repeated concerns about smoking violations, though these were also addressed and closed.
