7825 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 59-unit, six-story building at 7825 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Isen Sela, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Most recently, between February 2025 and April 2025, there were three separate complaints regarding absence of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, with the latest in April being classified as an emergency situation.

The building has also had plumbing issues, including a water supply problem reported in April 2025. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods (2019-2025), and one door/window complaint in 2022 resulted in no violations, the persistent heating system problems are notable. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat/hot water system failures, with similar complaints recorded in 2020, 2021, and 2022, though inspections often revealed that systems had been restored prior to inspection.

In addition to these recurrent issues, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2021 related to failure to submit required energy efficiency documentation, with penalties totaling $6,250. Recent building permits indicate ongoing maintenance and repairs, with the latest permit issued in April 2025. The building's management has maintained proper documentation of bedbug inspections, showing compliance with reporting requirements, and only one housing maintenance code violation was recorded in 2020 regarding notice posting requirements, which was certified as corrected in December 2020.
