4913 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 4913 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ruben Abigador, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over recent years. The building has documented multiple heat and hot water issues, with a notable incident in December 2022 when these utilities were temporarily unavailable, though they were reportedly restored within one day. More concerning are the recurring pest control issues, with the most recent 311 complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in January 2023.
The building has a documented pattern of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (December 2024) indicating one infested unit, though previous filings show multiple instances of eradicated units between 2020 and 2024. The property has faced significant maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and Violations. In October 2021, there were multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints including water leaks, plumbing issues (radiators and toilet), electrical problems (outlet/switch), and issues with garbage/recycling storage.
An inspection in October 2021 revealed several violations in apartment 4L, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint, kitchen cabinet doors, and electrical service to fixtures. The building's compliance history shows periodic inspections and violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2023, and an inspections-related violation regarding mailboxes in October 2021. The most recent inspection in March 2023 noted a violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, which was previously cited in a February 2022 inspection as well. Additionally, there was an attempted investigation into an alleged illegal conversion in February 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access.
