5102 5Th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The four-story, 4-unit building at 5102 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Jack Kahn, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant events in recent years. Notably, there is an ongoing safety concern regarding the fire escape system, as evidenced by a November 2024 HPD complaint that could not be fully investigated, and housing maintenance code violations related to fire safety. The building experienced a fire incident in May 2024 that affected the second and third floors, damaging floor joists, and resulting in active Department of Buildings violations.
Multiple construction-related violations were recorded in 2024, including issues with safety compliance, structural modifications, and unauthorized work, with penalties totaling over $15,000. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filings in April 2024 and December 2024 showing zero infested units. There were multiple safety inspections conducted in 2025 that resulted in no violations being found.
Historical records show various administrative and safety violations between 2018 and 2024, including requirements for posting safety notices, maintaining proper building documentation, and addressing various maintenance issues. The building's recent history of construction violations and the fire incident in 2024 are particularly notable, though many of the older violations from 2018-2021 have been resolved. While the building currently shows some active violations related to its structural condition and fire safety systems, these are being addressed through ongoing inspections and compliance processes.
