4824 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 4824 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Danny Moran and constructed in 1923 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing rodent problems, with a rat sighting reported in September 2024 leading to violations and follow-up inspections by the Department of Health (results from the subsequent November inspection indicated rat activity).

The building has also faced significant heating and hot water system challenges, particularly during November 2022, when multiple tenants reported issues that required HPD intervention, though access for inspection was not granted. The property has been the subject of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, particularly in late 2023. These include emergency concerns about plumbing and flooring issues, as well as various non-emergency problems related to garbage storage, door conditions, and interior maintenance.

Notable violations documented in October 2023 include defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3R, water leak issues, and the need for repairs to plaster surfaces and paint finishes. Of particular importance, there is an open rodent infestation violation for Apartment 4R from October 2023. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present shows no recorded infestations, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested units.
