5422 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 21-unit, 4-story NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 5422 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Alessandro Pirozzi and constructed in 1913, has experienced recurring heating problems over recent years, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2024 regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building that remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has also faced multiple safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in 2024, including six emergency complaints regarding fire escape safety, multiple issues with window guards, and a pest infestation complaint.
Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2024, including issues with window guards, pest control, and bathroom maintenance in apartments 1B, 2B, and 3E, though most were subsequently certified as corrected. Recent Department of Buildings activity includes a September 2024 violation for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of July 2025.
There were also two complaints regarding illegal conversion and work without permit in 2023-2024, though inspections did not warrant violations. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years, and while there were some rodent control compliance issues noted in 2015, inspections since then have generally passed. The totality of the records suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the heating system and safety features, though many historical violations appear to have been addressed.
