4005 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 4005 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Samuel Parada, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety compliance since its conversion to Class A status. Most recently, in May 2025, a rodent complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though inspectors were unable to access the property.

The building has maintained an apparently successful bedbug management record from 2022 through 2024, with no reported infestations during these periods, and the most recent reports from December 2024 show zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. The property has undergone several safety inspections and has faced various violations over the years.

In 2019, there were multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with building entrance lighting (Class B), accumulation of refuse in passageways (Class B), a defective fire egress ladder (Class B), and a significant Class C violation regarding sprinkler systems and secondary means of egress that remains listed as "Open" with no certification date provided. A tenant safety inspection in February 2020 was completed, and two inspection attempts regarding egress issues in March 2019 were documented, though inspectors were unable to gain access during one of these visits. The building's permit history shows activity in late 2019 and early 2020, with one permit issued in November 2019 for electrical work, while another plumbing permit filed in January 2020 remains listed as "In Process."
