5721 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 5721 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Mary Lawler, has a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues since 2019. Most concerning are the four consecutive years (2019-2024) of open violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, representing a recurring compliance oversight under the Housing Maintenance Code.
The building has experienced significant resident comfort issues, including a documented heat and hot water emergency in early 2022 that required HPD intervention, though conditions were reported as resolved shortly thereafter. More recent concerns include rodent activity documented in early 2024 during initial and compliance inspections, and an exterior lighting violation noted in 2019 regarding inadequate illumination at the front entrance.
The most recent Department of Buildings violation from April 2023, related to the failure to file 2022 external low pressure inspection results, was ultimately dismissed in December 2023. A food establishment-related complaint was recorded in May 2023, though this was administratively closed by DOHMH. The building, constructed in 1922, continues to show patterns of both routine maintenance oversights and specific resident comfort challenges, with the most recent serious concerns centering around pest management compliance and rodent presence.
