86 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

86 5th Avenue, a 4-story old law tenement building located in Park Slope, was constructed in 1920 and contains 6 residential units. The building is currently facing multiple active violations related to external low pressure inspection filings for the years 2018-2020 and 2021-2022, which were not submitted as required.

In 2019, several significant issues were documented in apartment 4L, including violations for roach infestation, defective bathtub faucets, and non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though most of these violations remain open as of October 2023. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 regarding water supply and bathtub/shower problems, some of which resulted in HPD violations. The property has undergone regular pest control inspections, with rodent baiting applied in 2021-2022, though the most recent bedbug report for 2024 shows no infestations or re-infested units.

While the building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2024, there is an outstanding violation from 2019 for a roach infestation that appears to remain open in the records. The Department of Buildings has issued violations in 2023 for failing to file various required inspections, indicating ongoing maintenance compliance issues that date back several years. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and pest control systems, which have required multiple agency interventions and inspections over the years.
