119 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

119 5th Avenue, a two-family house built in 1920 in Park Slope, is currently owned by Sean Sinnreich. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water complaint filed in November 2023 that was not able to be inspected by HPD. Three food establishment-related complaints were filed with DOHMH between 2022-2024, including one regarding rodents/insects/garbage (October 2023) and a toilet facility issue (March 2022), both of which were addressed according to their resolution descriptions.

The property has a documented history of various structural and safety concerns, including multiple Department of Buildings complaints. These include an illegal storefront/business sign complaint (active as of late 2024), a defective/exposed electrical wiring complaint (May 2023), and construction enforcement-related issues (April 2020). Two ECB violations were issued in 2020 and 2018 regarding improper permit posting and inadequate pedestrian protection, resulting in penalties of $625 and $2400 respectively, though records indicate these were resolved. The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2019-2025, with no reported infestations in any of the four annual filings.

Rodent inspections performed in 2018-2020 yielded mixed results, with rat activity observed in August 2018 but passing inspections in April 2018 and November 2028. Multiple permits have been issued for various works on the property between 2018-2021, including plumbing and electrical work. The 2019-2021 period specifically shows several issued permits for electrical work (EW) and plumbing (PL) repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance activities during that period. The building has maintained proper bedbug compliance reporting from 2019 through 2025, with all annual reports showing zero infested units and no recorded re-infestations.
