135 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, three-unit residential building at 135 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Emilio Arias, has a notable history of pest management issues over the past decade. Most recently, there are open violations as of 2024 and 2023 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, though there were no reported bedbug infestations during the 2019-2021 and 2020-2022 reporting periods.
The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with documented rat activity during multiple inspections between 2015 and 2022. While the building had initial inspections showing rat activity in 2017, 2018, and 2022, it passed subsequent compliance inspections, suggesting some responsiveness to the rodent control challenges.
A significant rodent-related complaint was made in May 2022, leading to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene involvement and identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and history of pest management challenges highlight ongoing maintenance requirements, though recent bedbug report compliance issues may indicate administrative oversights rather than active pest problems.
