5425 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5425 5th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by George Geannakakes. The building has experienced several infrastructure issues over the past few years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024-2025, including heat and hot water problems in January 2024, which the HPD could not investigate due to access issues, and a mobile food vendor equipment complaint in April 2025.

Earlier complaints documented a power outage in January 2024 and water supply issues in October 2021, though no violations were found in these inspections. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with zero reported incidents of infestation or re-infestation in annual filings from 2021 to 2024, and the most recent filing for the period ending October 2024 also recorded no affected units.

The property has one open violation from January 2024 regarding the lack of posted heating system access information in the first-story public hall, while earlier violations from 2023 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. Inspectors from various departments, including HPD and the Department of Buildings, have generally found no violations during their inspections, including a 2019 electrical wiring complaint that was inspected and deemed without warrant for violation. Despite the building's age and some documented maintenance issues, particularly relating to heat and water systems, the property's bedbug management program appears to be effectively implemented, with no current pest control concerns reported.
