133 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building at 133 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Joseph Martorano, has experienced several notable issues over the past years, with particular attention needed regarding pest management compliance. The building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, which represent an ongoing regulatory non-compliance issue.
A recent food poisoning complaint was filed in October 2024, though the Health Department deemed it an isolated incident with normal inspection procedures to follow. Rodent activity has been documented in the building's history, with initial inspections showing rat activity in 2018, though subsequent inspections in 2019 and 2022 passed. The property underwent some work in 2019-2020, with multiple permits issued including exterior work (EW) and plumbing (PL) permits.
In 2018, several construction-related complaints were filed, including concerns about work beyond approved plans and site conditions endangering workers, though in most cases inspectors were unable to find violations upon inspection. The building's bedbug reporting record for the period of 2019-2020 showed no infestations or treatment needs, though this period has been followed by multiple years of unmet reporting requirements. The most recent pest-related incident was a food poisoning complaint from October 2024, which has been closed with no ongoing concerns.
