4522 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
4522 5th Avenue is a 3-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Abdo Esa. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with at least 10 documented complaints between 2023 and 2025, most recently in March 2025. Multiple HPD inspections confirmed temporary restoration of services during their visits.
The building has also faced several significant safety and maintenance concerns, including open violations as of 2024 regarding fire escape egress obstruction (flower pots and household items on 2nd story balcony), and an outstanding requirement to file annual bedbug reports. A notable repair was documented in October 2024 concerning self-closing door issues in Apartment 3R. The property has a history of electrical and safety violations, particularly in 2018-2019, including improper electrical equipment and unauthorized signage, though these were resolved or dismissed by mid-2019.
More recently, in 2024, the building received complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which HPD inspected but did not issue violations for. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections for various complaints between 2018 and 2023, including an illegal conversion investigation in 2023 which found no violations at the time of inspection. While the building passed rodent inspections in late 2022, it had one failed inspection in November 2022 for unspecified reasons. Current open violations require attention to bedbug reporting compliance and certain safety features, while various permits were issued in 2018 for unspecified alterations.
