606 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

606 5th Avenue is a two-family residence located in Sunset Park, New York City, built in 1930 and currently owned by Viktoria Papaemanuel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in late 2024, which was resolved by February 2025.

This building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with similar complaints in 2019 that were either resolved or could not be verified due to inspection access issues. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has investigated multiple food establishment-related complaints, including rodent/insect issues in late 2024 and earlier instances in 2019, as well as a foreign object complaint in 2021, all of which were closed after investigation.

The property has also faced some general maintenance challenges, including a cooking gas complaint in May 2019 that could not be verified during an inspection, and a more recent complaint from November 2024 that was addressed. Two other complaints were noted in the building's history: an active complaint about an illegal advertising sign from 2021, with findings under review as of 2022, and a closed complaint regarding multiple elevator devices in 2019 that was found to be unsubstantiated based on department records. While many of these issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints suggests this has been an ongoing concern for residents.
