4514 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4514 5th Avenue is a three-story, two-family house located in Sunset Park, built in 1919 and currently owned by Xiangzhu Zheng. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in May 2022, including problems with cooking gas, an electric/gas range, and a broken window guard. This same period saw violations issued in Apartment 3F for pest infestation and peeling paint, though all these violations were subsequently closed without penalties.

The department conducted multiple construction-related inspections between 2020-2022, including several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises. In 2023, multiple violations were recorded for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2019-2022, though these were later dismissed. The building's recent activity indicates ongoing maintenance and permitting work, with two permits issued in late 2023 for alteration work, following previous permits issued throughout 2021-2022.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building during the specified reporting periods of 2019-2020 and 2022-2023, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there have been several safety-related complaints and construction-related issues over the years, many have been promptly addressed and closed without ongoing violations. The most recent permits and the resolution of earlier violations indicate that the property management has been actively working to maintain compliance with city regulations, though there was a pattern of construction access issues that may have impacted various inspections and work progress.
