8802 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 8802 4th Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by James Pantelidis, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Between October 2024 and November 2024, there were eight documented complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, all classified as emergencies.

While some of these complaints were resolved quickly, and in a few cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issues, the recurring nature of these complaints indicates an ongoing system reliability concern. In addition to the heating issues, there is one open violation from October 2024 concerning a faulty self-closing door leading to the yard on the south side of the building, marked as Class C, alongside several historical violations related to door and window guard issues in different apartments. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to safety regulations, with multiple violations regarding self-closing doors throughout the building, including specific violations in apartment 4D (October 2024) and apartment 3D (2021) related to door functionality and window guards.

There has been consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, showing no reported infestations during these periods. Historical records from 2021 indicated instances of plumbing issues (specifically sink problems) that resulted in violations. The building's management has generally addressed violations once documented, as most historical violations show a resolution, though some recent heating-related service requests demonstrate potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
