4220 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The four-story, seven-unit tenement at 4220 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Rosa Velez and built in 1929, has had several notable events and maintenance issues over recent years. The building experienced rodent-related concerns in both 2022 and 2016, with the 2022 complaint investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene resulting in no violations, though a rat activity finding was recorded in 2016.
The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug regulations, with no reported infestations in the past three annual filing periods (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2019-2020) and all required reports filed appropriately, suggesting effective pest management practices. In terms of building safety and maintenance, the structure has undergone various inspections revealing both Class A and C violations, though all have been subsequently closed.
These included a broken or defective item in the basement (2021), non-self-closing doors in both the 4th-story apartment and cellar leading to the public hallway (2021), and a free-standing iron radiator nuisance in the first-story public hallway (2021). Most recently, in March 2023, the building received a violation related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed as subsequent filings show no reported infestations. The building passed rodent inspections in 2016 and 2022, indicating improved pest management compliance over time.
