1445 West 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1445 West 4th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Rosa Gargano and constructed in 1985, has undergone several inspections and reported issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with open class A violations in 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by NYC Housing Maintenance Code, though the building's 2020-2021 report (filed in March 2022) showed no infestations or eradications.

In early 2022, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues, with complaints recorded for plumbing problems (affecting sinks and bathtubs/showers), flooring concerns, water leakage, pest infestations, and issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system. These complaints generated eight separate 311 reports and housing maintenance code complaints in January 2022, though all were closed by February 2022 with no violations found upon inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building's most recent documented incidents include a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection in October 2022 regarding standing water, which also resulted in no violations being found. The property's inspection history shows a consistent pattern of compliance checks and the resolution of reported issues, though the recurring nature of bedbug reporting violations remains a significant point of concern. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it's important to note that all reported complaints from early 2022 were investigated and closed without violations being issued.
