1445 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1445 East 4th Street in Midwood, owned by Solomon Friedman, has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations related to lead paint safety and bedbug reporting over the past few years. Most notably, in mid-2024, the building faced three Class C violations concerning non-compliance with lead paint hazard control requirements, including failures to provide required documentation and records to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), as well as a failure to notify occupants and investigate potential lead paint hazards.

In April 2024, there was also a Class A violation for not filing the required annual bedbug report. Similar bedbug reporting violations were documented in 2023, 2022, and 2021, though these appeared to be administrative oversights rather than indications of an infestation problem.

The building's bedbug reporting history, spanning from November 2019 through October 2024, shows a consistent pattern of zero infested dwelling units, with no reports of eradicated or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management despite the reporting compliance issues. The most recent bedbug report for the period November 2023 to October 2024, filed in January 2025, continues to show no instances of infestation, reaffirming the building's pest-free status. While the building has experienced multiple violations over the years, particularly concerning lead paint compliance and bedbug reporting requirements, all listed violations have been marked as "Close," indicating they have been addressed, though the "certified_date" field remains unfilled for these violations.
