4606 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
4606 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Sunset Park, built in 1911 and currently owned by James Pappas. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around building systems and infrastructure.
In 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints regarding electrical problems, including lighting issues, outlet defects, and intercom system malfunctions. Water leaks with heavy flow were reported in both January 2025 and November 2024. A significant heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building was logged in November 2024 and remains open.
The second floor apartment (2L) has documented violations from June 2024 related to pest infestation (roaches), multiple electrical issues (outlets and switches), bathroom caulking, door self-closing mechanisms, and painting requirements. Additional historical context shows ongoing building challenges, including illegal conversion complaints in 2022 (though inspectors were unable to gain access during two separate final attempts), a boiler-related complaint in January 2024 that found no violations at the time of inspection, and several environmental control board violations from 2018 related to unpermitted work by a prior business tenant (Castillo de Yague) regarding signage and storm enclosure installations. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent infrastructure issues, with multiple violations remaining open in recent inspections, particularly concerning electrical systems and building services.
