5416 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5416 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park and built in 1913, currently owned by Marco Pirozzi. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2021 and 2024, though most were resolved relatively quickly, often within 3 days. More recently, in late 2023 and early 2024, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartment 3C, which included issues with vinyl floor tiles, unauthorized door locks on fire escape windows, and problematic wooden panels.

There are also multiple active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018-2021, which could indicate maintenance neglect of building systems. The property has generally maintained a satisfactory record regarding pest control; the annual bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 shows zero infested units each year. A rodent inspection in 2018 resulted in a passing grade.

While the building's heating system has been a consistent source of complaints, the frequency of heating issues has decreased somewhat in recent years. The most recent violations from late 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and building infrastructure. Several self-closing door issues were identified in October 2023 in apartments 2A and 2D, and a carbon monoxide detector violation was noted in apartment 4C in November 2023, which is particularly concerning from a safety perspective.
