805 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

805 5th Avenue in Sunset Park is a 12-unit, 7-story condominium building constructed in 2007, currently owned by Rory Turkington. The building has experienced recurring elevator-related issues over its history, with the most significant incident occurring in October 2021 when multiple safety violations were documented, including problems with the cab mirror alignment, inoperative cab lighting, missing fire safety signs, non-compliant escape hatch switches, and other mechanical issues.

These elevator violations, for which penalties were imposed, were eventually resolved by December 2021 through intervention from Sentry Elevator Corp. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reporting from 2020 through 2025 showing zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during any of the reporting periods.

The most recent bedbug report, filed in May 2025, confirmed that no units had experienced any infestation issues between November 2023 and October 2024. In 2023, the building received a violation notice for failure to file the annual bedbug report by the March 31 deadline, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been filed regularly. While the elevator violations were concerning and required significant attention, the property's consistent record of bedbug management and the eventual resolution of safety issues suggest improved oversight in recent years, though prospective tenants should remain aware of the building's history of elevator maintenance challenges.
