4003 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

4003 5th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Samuel Parada. The property has experienced multiple compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns documented in 2019 when the building received multiple Class A violations regarding safety requirements.

These included violations related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and proper building registration display. A notable safety concern was identified regarding an unstationary iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening. The building also faced challenges with rodent and bedbug management, as evidenced by a 2019 Department of Health complaint about rodents/insects/garbage, and a compliance inspection in 2022 that found rat activity, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infested units or related issues.

Between 2019 and 2023, the building underwent several inspections and repairs, with significant attention to bedbug reporting compliance, which appears to be properly maintained in recent filings. The property experienced construction-related compliance issues in 2020, resulting in two active Environmental Control Board violations against MEA Construction Inc, relating to failure to provide approved construction documents and proper notification prior to commencing work, with penalties totaling $1,935. The Department of Buildings (DOB) has conducted multiple inspections and follow-ups, including three tenant safety inspections in 2020, though some were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and improvement work being documented through various permits issued from 2019 to 2022, suggesting ongoing management attention to building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
