5705 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 5705 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Lodging Logistic LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns being documented in October 2023. Currently, there are open violations related to mold on the ceiling in apartment 3L (approximately 2-30 square feet), a problem with the fire escape door lock, and issues with the building's sprinkler system water supply.

The building also requires updated safety procedures for suspected gas leaks, including proper notification postings, and needs to maintain current documentation of the sprinkler system testing. These recent violations follow a pattern of building maintenance issues, particularly in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed for plumbing, electrical, and various other problems, including heat and hot water concerns affecting the entire building. While many of these earlier complaints were resolved without any violations being issued, they indicate recurring issues with building systems.

The property has been subject to regular bedbug reporting, with no confirmed infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2021-2024), which is a positive sign regarding pest management. Historical records from 2013 show some rodent activity, with multiple inspections noting rat presence and requiring compliance follow-ups, though the building passed its compliance inspection in October 2013. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of older residential properties, though recent violations suggest some ongoing infrastructure and maintenance concerns that require attention.
