Augrented Insights Report for 7609 4th Avenue

The 82-unit, 6-story building at 7609 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Brenda Sabbagh, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2018, with the most significant concerns revolving around elevator safety and water-related problems. The building has a recurring history of elevator malfunctions, with multiple complaints between 2019-2022 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," leading to multiple violations requiring repairs to safety devices, phone systems, and lighting. Water-related issues have been particularly problematic, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 documenting heavy flow leaks, damp spots, and slow leaks, resulting in violations particularly affecting Apartment E9's bathroom.

The building has also faced rodent issues, with a rat sighting reported in August 2023, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent inspection found no violations. Recent inspections show some improvements, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections and closures of several older violations, though notable open violations remain from 2018-2019 concerning mold, water leaks, and building maintenance codes. The elevator system has been a consistent concern, with inspections revealing various safety device issues requiring attention, as documented in Environmental Control Board violations.

The building has also documented periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports showing infestations in 2023-2024 affecting two units, though all reported infestations were successfully eradicated. While some maintenance issues have been resolved through inspections and repairs, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints, the building still presents ongoing challenges, particularly related to elevator safety systems and historical water-related problems. The property has undergone various inspections over the years, with some resulting in violations that required correction, though many older violations have been resolved or dismissed based on follow-up inspections showing appropriate corrections.
