219 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 219 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Denis Eagle, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade. The most recent significant concern was documented in December 2019, when an infestation of cockroaches was reported in apartment 3R, with current violation status listed as open.

This followed a notable period of maintenance issues in August 2018, when a cluster of problems was identified, including multiple plumbing issues (affecting sinks and bathtubs/showers), flooring concerns, and various paint/plaster deficiencies across multiple units. During this period, several violations were issued, particularly affecting apartment 3L, where issues included the need for wall and ceiling repainting, carbon monoxide detector repairs, fire egress concerns, and a loose washbasin problem, though some of these violations have since been closed.

The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. Additionally, recent rodent inspections in 2016 and 2018 showed passing results, indicating no significant rodent problems at those times. While the building's maintenance history shows periods of concentrated issues, particularly in late 2018 and late 2019, the most recent bedbug reports and rodent inspections suggest improved conditions in recent years, though the open violation for roach infestation in 3R from 2019 warrants attention.
