4501 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
4501 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Jacqueline Arroyo. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in March 2022 and April 2020 affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved. In 2020, Apartment 3B experienced multiple issues including pest infestations, problems with hot water temperature, and heating system deficiencies, resulting in several violations.
The building has been subject to multiple housing maintenance code violations, including two open violations from 2020 relating to building access issues and heating problems that were first documented in April 2020. More recent violations from 2023 indicate failures to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2018 and 2022, which remain active as of July 2025. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest management, with consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2021-2025 showing no infested units, and passed rodent inspections in 2015 and 2019.
Historical violations from 2018 included concerns about fire escape access and various maintenance issues, including a stop work order related to plumbing in December 2018. Since then, there has been one ongoing violation dating back to December 2018 regarding plumbing work requiring a new master plumber. The building's management has shown responsiveness to many issues, as evidenced by the closure of several service requests, though not all violations and service requests have been resolved promptly.
