202 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 3-story, 3-unit building at 202 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Howard Katz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021. Most notably, in September 2021, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including urgent safety concerns related to fire escape maintenance and a slow water leak.
The third-floor apartment (3R) in particular had several identified problems requiring attention, including bathroom mold around the bathtub, intercom system defects, issues with self-closing door mechanisms, kitchen ceiling plaster and paint concerns, and various code compliance matters. The building also faced some structural concerns, with the Department of Buildings noting a vertical crack approximately 20 feet in length from the second floor to the roof in September 2021, which resulted in a penalty of $312.
More recently, in 2023, there have been violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 and 2022, though more recent filings from December 2023 and July 2024 indicate no current infestations, with all units reporting zero infested or eradicated units. The building's current status as of October 2023 shows several open violations related to safety notices for carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and other building maintenance issues.
