1880 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
1880 East 4th Street is a 4-story, 35-unit residential building constructed in 1927 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Toby Ginsberg. The building has experienced persistent pest-related issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents between 2024 and 2025, including recent reports in June 2025. The property has recorded significant maintenance violations, particularly in apartment B15, where inspectors documented issues in November 2023 including mold, insect infestations (both mice and roaches), electrical problems, and a defective buzzer intercom system.
This apartment also experienced inadequate heat in April 2025, as documented by a Department of Health complaint. The building's systems maintenance has come under scrutiny, with multiple open violations as of June 2023 related to the failure to file essential external low pressure inspections between 2018-2021. The Department of Buildings records indicate several concerning issues, including active violations from September 2022 regarding unauthorized commercial use of the cellar as a baking and preparatory kitchen, which resulted in fines totaling $3,780.
The building's fire escape system was documented as defective in August 2024, requiring adjustments to the drop ladder. Recent inspections (April 2025) have shown rat activity despite bait application in June 2025. While the building has maintained a "zero" count for bedbug infestations in recent years, the ongoing rodent and pest control challenges suggest persistent maintenance and sanitation issues. The property has also faced historical IDC violations related to unsafe conditions, illegal commercial use, and various maintenance infractions, though many have been closed or dismissed.
