5601 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
5601 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building in Sunset Park, owned by David Young and constructed in 1912. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2022 and 2025, most recently in June 2025. A notable pattern of rodent-related problems is evident, with at least 6 service requests between 2023 and 2024, including rat sightings and signs of rodent activity.
The property has also faced maintenance challenges, including water supply and heavy flow leak issues in January 2022, along with violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2024. In recent months, the building has continued to show signs of rodent activity, with inspections in October and December 2024 confirming the presence of rats. Current violations include an open violation from November 2023 regarding inadequate hot water in apartment 4R and an issue with the locked heating system access door.
The building's maintenance history reveals both emergency and immediate emergency responses, particularly in relation to heat, hot water, and plumbing issues. While the bedbug infestation reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate no affected units, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and pest control. The most recent Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 pertains to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, which remains active as of the current date.
