203 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, five-unit tenement building at 203 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Martin Goldstein, was constructed in 1921 and has experienced several notable events over the past five years. Most importantly, in 2023/2024, the building faced compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code, receiving multiple violations though these were subsequently closed.
A significant safety concern was raised in December 2023 when an air conditioning unit was found improperly installed at a fire escape window, resulting in a $500 violation that remains unpaid. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting periods (2022-2024), with all reports showing zero infested units. The property has experienced some historical enforcement actions related to outdoor advertising, with multiple violations documented in August 2020 regarding an unauthorized sign ("The Hearts of Brooklyn"), though these were resolved through payment of various penalties totaling $1,125.
The building's rodent inspections between 2017 and 2019 showed mostly satisfactory results, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in 2018. A food establishment-related complaint was filed and closed between 2020-2024. The building's overall condition appears to be stable, with the most recent violations primarily related to compliance issues rather than health or safety concerns, and no recent patterns of pest infestations or significant maintenance problems.
