4212 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story, ten-unit residential building at 4212 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Nancy Padilla, was constructed in 1929 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with timely bedbug reporting compliance, having received three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

However, it's worth noting that all three reporting periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022) showed no evidence of bedbug infestations or related issues, with zero infested units reported and no eradication cases. The building faced significant mechanical system challenges in late 2018, when a boiler-related complaint was filed and subsequently resulted in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $3,125. This violation detailed several deficiencies including improper venting, defective components, and water line issues.

More recently, in 2023, the Department of Buildings issued a violation regarding the failure to file the required 2019 external low-pressure inspection documentation, which remains active as of now. Additionally, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2019 concerning the improper display of the building's registration number at the entrance. Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug reporting compliance, filed in March 2024 for the period November 2022 - October 2023, shows continued adherence to reporting requirements, with no infestation cases reported during this period.
