5418 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5418 3rd Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit condominium building constructed in 2012, located in Sunset Park. The building has experienced recurrent issues with heating and water systems, evident from multiple complaints between 2018 and 2023 regarding heat/hot water problems, including emergency situations in February 2019 and February 2020. Notable maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues, with a water supply problem in February 2023 requiring HPD intervention, and various plumbing-related complaints in 2018, including emergency radiator issues and basin/sink problems.

The building has undergone several inspections for rodent issues, with inspections in 2022 showing mixed results; while one inspection passed, another failed for unspecified reasons. In 2020, the building faced elevator safety violations that required attention, including issues with door lock monitoring, pit lighting, and car door safety edges, though these were subsequently resolved with one violation incurring a monetary penalty. November 2018 inspections revealed multiple non-emergency violations in apartment 2D, including issues with the bathroom washbasin, ceramic tile wall, plastered surfaces, and electrical outlets, though many of these were subsequently addressed.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. Most recently, as of the latest inspection in 2023, the building received an A-class violation for bedbug reporting compliance, though this was subsequently closed. The property has demonstrated a pattern of addressing violations, though some issues have recurred over time, particularly regarding water and heating systems.
