2041 West 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 2041 West 4th Street in Gravesend, owned by Giovanni Ferrara, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly documented during October 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed. Between October 9 and October 18, 2022, there were at least five separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most of these complaints were eventually closed after inspections, with some being resolved prior to inspection.

Additionally, there was one complaint regarding door/window issues in October 2022 that resulted in violations being issued. In May 2021, the property received a summons from the Department of Health for issues related to unmaintained standing water in a swimming pool.

More recent activity on the property includes two permit-related complaints in August and September 2023, both of which resulted in inspections where the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt. Looking further back, a complaint from July 2019 regarding failure to maintain the property was investigated in November 2019, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building, which was constructed in 1945, is classified as a two-family house and has had a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding its heating system, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in the fall of 2022.
