5019 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5019 4th Avenue in Sunset Park is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Harry Philippou. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2022. This was not an isolated incident, as similar heat and hot water complaints were also reported in November 2020 and January 2022, suggesting recurring problems with the building's heating system.

The property has faced multiple plumbing issues, particularly in January 2020 when several water supply problems were reported, though inspections did not result in any violations. An April 2021 violation related to bedbug reporting requirements was documented but closed, and a November 2018 violation concerning building entrance door self-closing mechanisms was certified as corrected. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections and treatments, particularly between early 2022 and April 2022, demonstrating active rodent activity and the application of bait.

Notably, however, the building's bedbug reporting record for the past five years (2019-2024) shows no infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested units. While the building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to reported issues, the recurring heating system problems and multiple plumbing incidents suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The most recent filings indicate no current pest management issues, with the bedbug reports indicating successful prevention measures.
