5114 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

Located in Sunset Park, 5114 4th Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 720 K And K LLC. The property has experienced recurring plumbing and water supply issues, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and previous reports in 2022 and 2021. A significant cluster of recent complaints was filed in November 2024 regarding water supply, sewage, and slow leaks, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access.

The building has several valid violations from a 2023 inspection, particularly affecting apartment 2B, including issues with leaky faucets, pest infestations (roaches and mice), defective safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and a visible mold condition. Additional violations were noted in common areas including defective self-closing doors, missing signage, and an unsecured electrical light fixture in the first-story public hall. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, including several emergency service requests and multiple violations regarding unsanitary conditions between 2021 and 2024. Previous complaints from 2021 included concerns about stairs and garbage storage, and there was a violation for heavy water flow in 2021 that warranted penalties.

The building underwent inspections for possible illegal conversions in 2019, with all such complaints ultimately unsubstantiated. Major violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding obstructed public hallways, for which penalties were imposed and later resolved. While the building shows no recent bedbug activity (filings from 2024 showed zero infested units), a rodent inspection in 2020 resulted in a failed inspection for unspecified reasons. The Department of Buildings records indicate some history of construction-related complaints, with a 2022 violation for work done without a permit resulting in a $2,500 penalty.
