191 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
191 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, built in 1920 and currently owned by Geoffrey Freeman. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being two emergency complaints in February 2024 regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas problems throughout the building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
Prior to this, there was a heavy water leak incident in January 2023 that was promptly addressed. The building has also faced recurring pest management challenges, particularly during 2023 when multiple food establishment-related complaints regarding rodents/insects and garbage were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, along with an active food establishment letter grading issue. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent annual report filed in December 2024 showing no infested or eradicated units, following previous years' filings showing similar clean records.
Building maintenance records indicate some underlying infrastructure concerns, including a boiler-related violation in 2020 that resulted in a $312 penalty, though this was resolved. Rodent inspections between 2018-2019 show mixed results, with some inspections passing but others indicating rat activity. The building's annual bedbug reports have generally shown compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, though there were violations noted in 2021-2024 regarding the timely filing of bedbug reports, all of which were subsequently closed.
