7914 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

7914 4th Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1923 and containing 76 units, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints between January and December 2024, particularly during winter months. These complaints, which affected both the entire building and individual apartments, were often resolved quickly, though they indicate a persistent problem with the building's heating system.

In addition to these infrastructure concerns, the building has faced several code violations during 2024, primarily involving self-closing doors and fire safety equipment. These violations, including defective hinges on fire doors throughout various stories and issues with door closure mechanisms, were documented and subsequently closed between October and December 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing elevator-related problems, with multiple complaints about elevator service between 2018 and 2023, including a notable complaint about building shaking in July 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation.

Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to elevator maintenance and building upkeep have been issued periodically, though many were resolved without penalty. While the building has experienced some pest issues in the past, particularly between 2017 and 2020, recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no current infestations, and the building passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2022. The combination of heating system problems, door hardware violations, and elevator maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, though recent months show some improvement in pest management and prompt resolution of service complaints.
