140 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
140 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Alejandro Romero. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water in both the entire building and individual apartments occurring in late 2024. Notable maintenance concerns include multiple violations issued in early 2024 related to unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, particularly involving rodents and roaches in apartment 3R.
Building inspection records from March 2024 documented several maintenance issues requiring attention, including mold, plumbing problems, and problems with paint/plaster conditions in multiple units. The building's heating system has been a persistent concern, with documented violations in 2019 for inadequate heat supply in apartment 2R and similar complaints continuing through 2024. The property has also shown recurring issues with interior maintenance, particularly in apartment 3R, where multiple violations were issued in 2024 regarding defective plaster, paint conditions, and kitchen cabinet issues.
While there have been several emergency housing maintenance code complaints, most have been addressed and closed, though some violations remain open as of the most recent inspection. The building maintains a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years, and passed a rodent inspection in 2018. An external low pressure inspection violation from June 2023 was dismissed in January 2024, and a building stability complaint from 2022 was investigated with no violations noted.
