10002 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 18-unit, 6-story residential building at 10002 4th Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Stella Shapiro and constructed in 2008, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, the building reported both water leakage (heavy flow) and unsanitary sewage conditions, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

Subsequent inspections in September 2024 revealed multiple safety and compliance issues, including missing safety caps at electrical outlets in the first-story public hall (Class A violation), construction materials obstructing the area (Class B violation), and various required safety notices that were either missing or improperly posted, including those for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and the building's inspection certificate. Additionally, there was a Class C violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the compactor closet.

The building's safety record shows improvement in recent inspections, with the September 2024 violations being certified as corrected by October 30, 2024. The Department of Buildings had previously issued a violation in May 2020 that was dismissed by December 2022 after confirmation of corrective actions. Regarding pest control, the building has maintained a clean record since 2021, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2021 through June 2025, and records show that all 18 units were treated in 2020-2021, with no re-infestations reported in subsequent years.
