4621 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11234

This two-story, two-unit brick building at 4621 Avenue N in Flatlands, built in 1910 and currently owned by 4621 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in October 2023, including two instances where HPD was unable to gain access to the building for verification.

These complaints follow a similar pattern of heat-related issues that were documented in June 2020, which appears to have affected primarily the second-floor unit (2F). The building has also faced ongoing challenges with basic utilities and maintenance, including unaddressed violations from 2020 related to pests, plumbing issues, and various repairs needed in apartment 2F, such as hot water temperature problems, leaky faucets, a broken kitchen cabinet, and mailbox issues. The property has been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2020 and most recently in April 2024.

Recent Department of Buildings records indicate open violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2023 (as of September 2024). While the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no active infestations, this follows a pattern of violation notices regarding pest management. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly heating and plumbing, though there have been some instances of prompt resolution, such as the correction of certain heat-related complaints in October 2023.
