5520 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 2-family house at 5520 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Ilan Abraham, has been through several significant events since 2018. Most notably, there were serious heating and hot water system failures in November 2019 that resulted in violations against the 3rd-floor apartment, including inadequate heat supply and lack of hot water at all fixtures. These issues were documented through multiple complaints and violations.

The building had several code compliance matters in 2018-2019 related to unauthorized modifications, including electrical work and an improperly installed awning, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling over $2,000, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent records show that the building is currently facing an active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. However, there have been no reports of bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), and a rodent inspection in June 2021 resulted in a passing grade.

The most recent 311 complaint on record was filed in March 2020 regarding food spoilage, which was administratively closed in June 2024. Two professional certification compliance audit complaints were filed and resolved in late 2019, with one resulting in violations being served. The building's permit history shows proper documentation for work done in 2018 and 2020, suggesting some level of compliance with regulatory requirements.
