8602 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

8602 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by David Rizzuto. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over the past few years, with particular concern regarding building safety and compliance.

Most notably, there are active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2022) as of June 2023, and a 2024 violation related to disrepair of the facade at exposure #1 that posed potential hazards to pedestrians. The building's recent history shows consistent concerns about proper maintenance and adherence to city regulations, including multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits, though many of these complaints were ultimately found to have no violations warranting penalties upon inspection.

Between 2024-2025, there were several Department of Health complaints regarding food establishment issues, including one case of food poisoning in late 2023 and multiple Letter Grading inspections, suggesting there may be commercial space within the building that underwent health department scrutiny. Historical records indicate previous problems with heating/hot water systems, electrical lighting, and various maintenance issues, though these have generally been addressed following inspection. The building has maintained a good track record regarding pest control, with no reports of bedbugs or significant rodent issues in recent years, as shown in the regular bedbug reporting and past rodent inspections from 2017.
