5823 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 5823 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Eugene Zhitkov, has several significant maintenance and safety concerns as of 2024. Most notably, in September 2024, the building received multiple violations in Apartment 3F, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom mold, missing tiles, and door problems, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected.
A recent violation from June 2024 cited wall paint/plaster issues. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with inspections in 2018 showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections have shown passing results. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from July 2024 related to building safety features include issues with self-closing doors at the bulkhead and various fire safety requirements, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The property has faced regulatory scrutiny in the past, including a 2019 violation for an impeded fire escape exit that resulted in a $1,250 penalty, and two Special Operations Compliance Inspections in 2019 and 2021. While the building's bedbug reports from 2018 to 2024 consistently show zero infested units, recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings records show a permit was issued in 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
