5 Front Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 1834 three-story tenement building at 5 Front Street in DUMBO, currently owned by John Touhey, has undergone several significant inspections and incidents over the past decade. Most notably, the building experienced a period of rodent issues between 2015 and 2016, with three consecutive inspections in 2015 showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in late 2015 and 2016 passed.
The rodent situation improved significantly in recent years, with all inspections between 2022 and 2025 passing, including the most recent successful inspections in January 2025 and February 2024. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to file required annual reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.
However, the bedbug situation appears to have been effectively managed since then, with the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units, with similar clean records for the previous three years of reporting. The most recent inspections indicate a generally maintained building, though the earlier rodent issues and bedbug reporting violations highlight some historical challenges with pest management that have since been addressed.
