4202 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 12-unit, 4-story building at 4202 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Carlo Muraco, has a mixed history of maintenance and compliance issues spanning several years. The property has faced recurring ventilation and indoor air quality concerns, particularly in 2021-2022, with multiple complaints leading to investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building experienced significant electrical issues in early 2021, with multiple emergency complaints regarding wiring problems and a power outage, though no violations were ultimately issued.
Several violations remain active as of 2023-2024, including issues with a mechanical centrifugal exhaust fan, improper exhaust discharge location, and concerns about an obstructed fire escape. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports with no reported infestations since 2021, and while there were violations regarding garbage storage and general maintenance in early 2021, these were addressed through inspections. The building's violation history reveals ongoing concerns with building safety and maintenance standards.
Notable active violations as of 2024 include failure to comply with an order regarding mechanical systems, obstructed egress passageways, and unauthorized installation of exhaust equipment. The property has also faced multiple violations regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports between 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. A 2019 heating/hot water complaint in one apartment was classified as an emergency, and there have been multiple ventilation-related inspections between 2021-2022. The building's permit history shows at least one issued permit in 2020, though specific details regarding the nature of the work are not provided in the available data.
