5914 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5914 5th Avenue is a four-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park and owned by Iuliano Enterprises Inc. Built in 1931, the property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably in 2019 when multiple violations were documented regarding unsanitary conditions in the garbage storage areas, along with violations related to building security and maintenance, including issues with self-closing doors and inadequate waste receptacles.

During this same period, the building was cited for fire escape safety concerns. More recent issues, particularly from mid-2022, primarily involved maintenance matters such as problems with walls, ceilings, and electrical outlets, though these complaints were closed after inspection attempts. The building has been subject to multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections between 2018 and 2024 regarding food establishment conditions, including reports of spoiled food, foreign objects, and rodent/insect concerns, though these complaints were either addressed or administratively closed.

The property's infrastructure has experienced some significant issues, particularly in 2018 when a violation was recorded regarding the boiler room conditions, including debris, ventilation problems, and leaking issues, for which penalties were imposed but subsequently resolved. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested units or eradication efforts needed. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety concerns over the years, most violations have been addressed and closed, and the lack of recent complaints suggests some improvement in management responsiveness.
