8300 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

8300 4th Avenue is a 6-story, 69-unit New Law tenement building located in Bay Ridge, built in 1929 and currently owned by Albert Srour. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with particular concern around water problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints about heavy water leaks between April and May 2025, and issues with mold and unsanitary conditions. There were also significant complaints about cooking gas issues in late April 2025, with some resulting in violations.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding operation without proper permits and service issues, including two elevator-related complaints in 2024 that resulted in OATH violations for the single device elevator with no alternate service. Two apartments (212 and 608) were cited for hot water problems in late 2024, along with various door and window issues in apartment 212. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both resolved and recurring issues.

Recent inspections in 2025 under the rodent inspection program passed, indicating some improvement in pest control, while the bedbug reporting for the past five years shows no documented infestations. Environmental Control Board violations related to the elevator system have been issued consistently during the past two years, including problems with the inoperative car phone, worn saddle, and water in the pit. The building underwent several inspections regarding illegal hotel rooms and construction work without permits between 2024-2025, with varying results regarding access for inspections. While many complaints have been closed, it's worth noting that several HPD inspections in 2025 resulted in no violations being issued, though this may not necessarily indicate that the reported issues were fully resolved.
