5119 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit building at 5119 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Abe Friedman, has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat presence between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in February 2024 and October 2023 indicating ongoing problems. The property has also faced significant heating system challenges, with three documented incidents of heat and hot water failures in 2019 and 2021, along with more recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in 2025 regarding smoking violations in smoke-free areas.
Between 2021 and 2022, there was a notable period of unauthorized modifications to the building's cellar level, including the establishment of a "Yo Yo Spa" physical culture establishment with multiple massage rooms, which resulted in several violations for work without permits, unsafe storage of combustible materials, and other zoning-related issues, though these have since been resolved. Recent regulatory activity includes an active violation as of April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection records, while the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2024, with zero reported cases or treatments.
The property has experienced periodic challenges with compliance inspections, including multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access during investigations in 2024 regarding work without permits and certificate of occupancy issues. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and active violations, with several incorrectly categorized as immediately hazardous, though these were subsequently dismissed.
