276 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 276 5th Avenue in Park Slope, built in 1930 and currently owned by Chris Lee, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between late 2022 and 2024, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with some situations requiring HPD intervention.
In 2024, significant violations were issued for Apartment 4R concerning defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with ceiling leak issues in both the foyer and a room. The building has also faced pest problems, with HPD recording unsanitary conditions in June 2023, though no violations were issued following inspections. The property has a history of façade maintenance challenges, with documented Environmental Control Board violations in 2020-2021 relating to crumbling masonry and facade bulging, resulting in penalties totaling over $7,000.
More recently, a June 2023 violation was noted regarding the failure to file a 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Importantly, the building has demonstrated good pest control management recently, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three reporting periods (2022-2025), and a passed rodent inspection in October 2022, though an initial rat activity finding was recorded in August 2022. The building's management has been proactive in addressing violations when cited, with most being certified as corrected, including multiple heat/hot water issues and various maintenance concerns.
