5701 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
This three-story, four-unit residential building at 5701 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Sotirios Planzos and constructed in 1904, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2022, multiple violations were documented including the need for roof repairs to prevent leaks in the third-story public hall, replacement of carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 2R, and the abatement of a roach infestation in the same unit.
The building also received several safety-related violations regarding detector requirements and maintenance notices, though a bedbug report filed in December 2024 indicated no infestation issues during the previous year. More recent concerns include a December 2023 violation regarding facade maintenance, specifically relating to improper installation of air conditioning units, and an open violation from February 2022 regarding a ceiling paint requirement in the third-story public hall. The property has generated multiple 311 complaints over the past few years, including a 2023 smoking violation and two 2021 vaccine mandate non-compliance issues.
Heat and hot water complaints have been documented in both 2019 and 2022, with the 2022 incident affecting the entire building. On a positive note, recent inspections have shown no current rodent issues, with a passing result recorded in May 2024, and the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for multiple reporting years. The property owner has obtained various permits in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work, though specifics of the completed work are not detailed in the available records.
