4034 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 4034 Surf Avenue in Sea Gate, built in 1920 and currently owned by Igor Lazirko, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The property has faced recurring heating and hot water problems between late 2018 and 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. Notably, in December 2018, violations were issued related to inadequate heating systems and multiple inspections were required to address the concerns.

More recently, the building has been subject to bedbug reporting requirements, with annual inspections conducted from 2021 through 2024, though these reports indicate no infestations during the documented periods. The building's history also includes some concerning safety issues, particularly in late 2018, when violations were documented regarding the second-floor balcony handrails, which were reportedly removed and presented safety concerns. The property underwent multiple inspection cycles in 2018-2019, during which various corrections were required, including repairs to defective plastered surfaces and the installation of missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2.

Records show that while many violations were ultimately resolved, there were instances of inspections noting unlawful construction work and failure to comply with stop work orders in late 2018. The most recent building inspections in 2022-2023 have focused primarily on bedbug reporting compliance, with no recent violations related to unit habitability or safety recorded. The property appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all annual reports indicating zero affected units.
