75A 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit building at 75A Fifth Avenue in Park Slope, currently owned by Richard Ziade, has a mixed record of property maintenance and housing compliance issues since 2020. The building has experienced recurring pest-related problems, with multiple complaints about rat sightings in 2020 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2022 and earlier in 2018 showed passed results for rodent inspections.

In June 2020, eight different emergency and non-emergency violations were documented, including issues with stairs, doors, walls, pavement, and unsanitary conditions involving pests and garbage storage - though inspectors were unable to access the property for verification. During this period, there were also concerns about wall conditions and paint/plaster issues. More recent historical data from 2021-2025 shows the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all four annual Bedbug Reporting filings (2019-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units.

However, there have been two significant health-related incidents: a smoking violation in mid-2021 and a vaccine mandate non-compliance complaint in early 2022. The property had missed filing its annual bedbug report in 2022 and 2023, resulting in A-class violations, though routine inspections passed. The building has shown improved compliance with regular rodent inspections up to 2022, and most recent complaints have been resolved relatively quickly, though the 2022 rodent sighting complaint was particularly notable for the inspector being unable to access the property.
