162 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The building at 162 5th Avenue in Park Slope is a four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement constructed in 1920, currently owned by Tanya Amari. The property has several significant maintenance and compliance issues, with the most pressing being four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The building has experienced multiple inspection access issues under Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with inspectors unable to gain access in 2022 and 2024.
A concerning incident was reported in 2021 regarding blocked or improper egress, though no violation was warranted at the time of inspection. The building has a mixed history with pests, including rodent inspections showing both rat activity (2018) and subsequently passing inspections (2019-2020), though bedbug reporting compliance remains an open issue. The property has undergone various plumbing work as indicated by multiple permits issued between 2018-2023, with the most recent permits related to plumbing work issued in October 2023.
A food establishment-related complaint was filed in 2024, though this was closed after inspection by the NYC Health Department. The building has shown some patterns of regulatory non-compliance, with three separate incidents (2020, 2021, 2022) where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct required inspections, and a history of after-hours work complaints (2020) being referred to the Department of Transportation. While basic maintenance appears to be ongoing, as evidenced by the regular issuance of permits for plumbing work, the outstanding bedbug report violations and inspection access issues suggest some challenges with full compliance to current housing regulations.
