1653 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

This two-story, four-unit building was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Miriam Shasho. The property has documented persistent issues over recent years, with the most current concerns being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building reported in October 2024, and an unresolved beekeeping complaint as of October 2023.

The building has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, including multiple heat and hot water-related complaints (most recently in October 2024 and October 2018), moisture-related problems such as mold and slow water leaks (2018, 2024), and various safety and sanitary concerns. Notably, there are open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, indicating potential pest management oversight. The building's documented issues in October 2018 were particularly numerous, encompassing concerns about heat and hot water, wall conditions (paint/plaster), pest infestations, mold, and smoke detector safety.

While many of these complaints were investigated and no violations were issued, they suggest a period of significant maintenance challenges. The property has shown some recent attention to heating issues, with the most recent heat complaint being addressed within two days, though this only occurred after another heat-related incident in 2024. The building's age and history of maintenance requests indicate an ongoing need for attentive property management, especially regarding basic services such as heating, water supply, and pest control.
