4523 Avenue L, Brooklyn, NY 11234
The two-family house at 4523 Avenue L in Flatlands, owned by Ushi Orlitz and built in 1931, has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly during the first half of 2025. Multiple emergency complaints were filed in January 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), safety concerns (including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), heat and hot water issues, and various general maintenance problems (including wall damage and window frame concerns).
Inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were repeatedly hindered by access issues, though most violations were ultimately closed by April 2025. The property had two notable Housing Maintenance Code violations in September 2022 regarding encumbered public hallways, though these were certified as corrected by October 2022. More recent developments include two active Environmental Control Board violations from July 2024 regarding unauthorized work and installation of storefront signage, with associated penalties of $1,250 each.
While the building has shown no recent bedbug activity (with zero infested units reported in the past three inspection periods), its history includes a failed rodent inspection in 2012 (subsequently passed in 2019). The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested units. The property's recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and safety equipment, though many earlier violations have been addressed and closed.
