Augrented Insights Report for 53 5th Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 53 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope, owned by 53 Fifth Partners LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the apartment 4R. Between December 2023 and early 2024, multiple violations were documented, including problems with plumbing, electrical wiring, mold, and various repair needs such as plaster and paint work.

The building has shown consistent pattern of water-related issues, with complaints in 2023 noting both slow and heavy water leaks, as well as ongoing concerns about flooring, ceilings, and plumbing systems. Earlier records from 2021-2022 reveal several electrical safety violations, with multiple Oath Violations served for defective wiring, though these were eventually resolved through payment of penalties totaling over $8,000. The building's recent inspection history indicates some improvement, as evidenced by its passed rodent inspections from 2018 and consistent bedbug-free status since 2019.

While recent complaints and violations have been addressed, typically through formal inspections and repair certifications, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, all housing maintenance code violations from December 2023 were officially closed, including those related to safety features like fire escape access and door functionality, along with various structural and systems maintenance issues. The property has maintained a zero infestation record for both bedbugs and rodents in recent years, which is a positive aspect of its maintenance history.
