4922 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story building at 4922 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Robert Spiegelman and containing 4 units, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation issues from 2021 through 2024. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple rodent-related complaints and violations, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene finding problems warranting follow-up inspections in April and August 2024, and additional rodent-related service requests in October 2024.
The building has also faced recurring garbage and recycling storage issues, with violations noted in December 2023 and May 2024 regarding waste management and sanitation conditions. The property underwent a significant renovation and conversion in 2018-2019, which triggered multiple complaints and violations, including safety-related citations for inadequate OSHA training and construction supervision, totaling approximately $16,250 in penalties, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. During this period, several Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded, including issues with water leaks, mold, and the need for electrical repairs in unit 3B.
The building has maintained a relatively good record with respect to pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units or eradication needs. While permit records indicate multiple types of work being authorized between 2018 and 2020, including plumbing, electrical, and alteration work, concerns about construction safety and supervision were prominent during the 2018-2019 renovation period. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with variable results, including both failed inspections indicating rat activity and subsequent passed inspections, suggesting ongoing efforts to address pest control challenges.
