70 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
70 5th Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, owned by Nicholas Macchio and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in May, though the July 2025 inspection resulted in a passing compliance status.
The property has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024. Additionally, there are several active violations with the Department of Buildings regarding unfiled external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, including a recent violation issued in September 2024. The building has documented several maintenance concerns in recent years, including a water leak reported in December 2023 that required multiple inspections but ultimately could not be accessed by HPD.
Historical records show consistent rodent management attempts, with bait applications and compliance passes recorded between 2012 and 2025. While some violations have been addressed over time, the persistence of certain open violations regarding bedbug reporting and low-pressure safety inspections suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The property has maintained its Class A designation since conversion, and all units remain occupied as of the latest data in 2025.
