74 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
74 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Antonio Reyes. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water reliability, with multiple emergency complaints documented in both late 2024 and early 2025, including an electric power outage in June 2025. Apartment 4L has been notably problematic, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of December 2024 regarding a broken bathroom wash basin, leaky kitchen faucet, and visible mold conditions in the bathroom affecting more than 10 square feet.
The building has faced several sanitary and maintenance challenges over the past two years, including multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage, pests, and various sanitation issues, though inspections generally found no violations of housing laws. The property has active Environmental Control Board violations regarding exterior façade disrepair, including multiple cracks on the parapet wall, deteriorated conditions above the storefront and entrance door, and a rusty fire escape, with penalties totaling $9,375. Historical data shows two incidents of building vibration concerns in 2022 and 2023, though inspections did not confirm significant structural issues.
The building's safety compliance record is mixed, with open violations for missing safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and emergency procedures as of December 2024. The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 resulted in a passing grade, following several bait applications in previous years. While the building had a bedbug infestation reported between 2017-2018, there have been no recorded incidents since, and the most recent inspection passed.
