4605 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

4605 Surf Avenue is a three-story, 14-unit residential building located in Sea Gate, Brooklyn, owned by Isidor Pollak and constructed in 1950. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, representing an ongoing class A violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report.

This marks the fifth consecutive year (2021-2024) that the building has received violations for this particular infraction, though the building’s official bedbug reports for 2021-2022 and 2019-2020 show no documented infestations, with zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units reported. Additionally, in December 2019, there was a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in the residential building, though this complaint was quickly investigated and found to be unsubstantiated based on departmental records.

The consistent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing administrative issues with compliance, though the lack of documented infestations during the reporting periods indicates that while the building management has had trouble with paperwork requirements, there has been no actual bedbug infestation reported in recent years. The most recent bedbug report filing in July 2023 covers the period from November 2021 to October 2022, showing no infestations during that timeframe, which suggests some improvement in both compliance and pest management, despite the ongoing violation status as of 2024.
