7311 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

7311 4th Avenue, a 4-story, 35-unit residential building constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents, including recent incidents in April and May 2025. The property, currently owned by Tap Realty LLC, has faced various maintenance challenges including appliance issues (e.g., refrigerator problems) and cabinet maintenance needs in April 2025. A concerning pattern of pest-related complaints emerged in late 2024, though two of these inspections were unable to be completed.

The building has had multiple violations requiring correction, particularly during 2022-2023, including safety-related issues such as defective self-closing doors and unauthorized occupancy of a furnished room in apartment C6, which led to several environmental control board violations regarding egress, sprinklers, and fire alarm systems. The building's maintenance history shows some persistent issues with basic services, including multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages. In 2022, several violations were documented in apartment B2, including pest infestations (rodents and roaches), water leaks, and various repair needs.

A more recent rodent inspection in January 2024 passed, but inspections from late 2023 showed rat activity requiring bait application. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with both building systems and basic apartment conditions, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and pest control.
