5103 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 2-family house at 5103 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Joseph Doctory, is a 2-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1931. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple plumbing-related complaints involving bathtubs/showers, radiators, and sinks recorded in April 2025, though most were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. More concerning are recent violations related to flooring and unsanitary conditions including mold, for which violations were issued and will require correction by the property owner.
The building has open violations from 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though previous years (2022-2023) show no reported infestations. A building shaking complaint from September 2024 was investigated with no violations found. The property has several active and resolved Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including a significant $10,000 penalty from October 2024 related to construction safety and an active $2,500 violation from May 2023 concerning exterior wall maintenance and public safety.
There have been recent concerns about door/windows, ceilings, pests, and a smoke detector issue, all documented in April 2025 and now closed. A Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint from February 2025 remains active as of May 2025, though access was denied for the inspection. While past maintenance history includes some resolved issues from 2020-2021 regarding work permits and boiler installation, these were properly addressed, with no outstanding penalties.
