507 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, eight-unit tenement building at 507 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Paul Berezowski, has experienced relatively few significant issues since its construction in 1900. The most noteworthy incidents occurred in July 2020, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development received complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage/recycling storage.

However, these complaints were closed without inspection due to lack of access, and no violations were recorded. A sidewalk shed-related complaint was filed in December 2024, though inspections the same day found no violations.

The building's maintenance record has been predominantly positive, with regular bedbug reporting showing no infestations in any of the eight reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. Additionally, the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections from January 2020 through July 2025, maintaining a clean record in this regard. While there were some concerns about pest and garbage conditions in 2020, these issues appear to have been isolated and not indicative of ongoing problems, as evidenced by the absence of similar complaints in subsequent years and the building's strong performance in regular inspections.
