5718 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 5718 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Millenium Holdings & Development Inc, has experienced several significant issues since 2018. Of particular concern are multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building during the fall of 2018, with four separate complaints filed between September and December 2018.

The building currently has four open violations from 2021-2024 relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and multiple active violations (as of September 2024) regarding missing external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 through 2023, with associated penalties totaling $50,000. In 2018, there were also violations for inadequate housekeeping, particularly regarding debris on third-floor apartments, and multiple safety concerns in the public hall including issues with fire-retardant materials, lighting, and a defective iron ladder. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with a rat sighting complaint in 2019 that resulted in a passed inspection.

More recently, in 2025, there was an enforcement action regarding an illegal advertising sign that is currently active with a $10,000 penalty. Several other Department of Buildings complaints between 2019 and 2020 regarding illegal signage, unsafe egress, and work contrary to stop work orders were all closed without violations being substantiated. The property has undergone various work represented by permits issued in April 2019, but there remains ongoing concern regarding both the lack of timely inspections being filed and recurring issues that suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
