4300 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 8-unit, 3-story building at 4300 Atlantic Avenue in Sea Gate, owned by Michael Gershfeld, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building. The property has experienced recurring plumbing and electrical issues in recent months, with multiple emergency HPD complaints in June 2024 regarding toilets, sinks, and wiring. While some plumbing problems were resolved or inspected in May 2024, including water leaks and a power outage, the building remains subject to several open violations.

Notably, there are three active violations (from 2022-2024) concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. In addition to the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, the building's inspection history reveals multiple safety regulation compliance issues identified in August 2020, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and proper signage regarding housing information. These violations, while documented, were generally closed following appropriate action.

The building's recent maintenance record shows a pattern of plumbing and electrical service requests, particularly in 2024, with HPD often unable to gain access to the premises for inspection in several cases. A bedbug report filed in July 2021 indicated that while no units were infested during the filing period (2019-2020), all units had been treated, and there were no re-infestation cases documented. A work permit related to electrical work was issued in November 2020, suggesting some maintenance activity has been undertaken in recent years.
