4405 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4405 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently managed by Yans Property Inc. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with a total of 10 documented complaints between 2019 and 2023 specifically regarding these utilities affecting the entire building. Most recently, in March 2023, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection despite the emergency nature of the complaint.

The building also underwent significant safety violations in March 2019, particularly affecting apartment 4R, where multiple issues were identified including mold on the kitchen ceiling, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a locked sliding bolt on the roof bulkhead door. While there were earlier violations related to building entrance security and lighting, the building's more recent history shows improved conditions with no documented bedbug infestations in the last three reporting periods (2023-2025), and an active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection was conducted in August 2023 with no enforcement action required. The property has shown consistent efforts to address pest control, with zero reported infestations across multiple bedbug reporting periods since 2021.

Previous maintenance issues, including door repairs and lighting concerns, appear to have been resolved as evidenced by more recent inspection results. The building's heating system remains a persistent area of concern, with multiple complaints across different seasons and years. The most recent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were noted in 2023 and 2024, but these were subsequently closed with no recorded infestations. The property passed its initial rodent inspection in 2017, indicating generally good pest management practices when compared to historical building conditions.
