5807 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, six-unit building at 5807 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Nick Tsoukaris, was constructed in 1931 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple open violations that require attention. Most notably, there are current violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from June 2024 and problems with the building front door locking assembly.

A comprehensive inspection in late 2023 revealed multiple issues in Apartment 3R, including carbon monoxide detector problems, evidence of a roach infestation, water leak issues in the kitchen, and various defective appliances and fixtures. The building's recent history shows recurring problems with basic services and maintenance. Complaints and violations related to heat and hot water were reported in early 2021, though some were resolved. Two power outages were documented in late 2022, and multiple 311 service requests related to unsanitary conditions and garbage storage were filed between 2021 and 2022.

The property has also faced challenges with food establishment inspections in 2024 and 2025, receiving health department complaints. Safety concerns became more prominent in late 2023, with multiple emergency housing maintenance complaints regarding fire escape safety, door issues, and a carbon monoxide detector problem. While some historical complaints from 2019, including those related to illegal conversion and boiler issues, were closed with no violations found, the building's current open violations and service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring. The most recent bedbug reports from 2019 showed no infestations during the 2017-2018 reporting period, but this requires annual verification as per current regulations.
