304 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 304 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Geoffrey Freeman and dating back to 1920, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Between January 3 and January 17, 2025, there were three separate complaints about heat/hot water problems, all of which were either confirmed corrected or could not be verified during inspections.
The building has an ongoing pattern of heating system concerns, with similar emergency complaints recorded in November 2020, suggesting potential infrastructure challenges. The property has faced multiple maintenance issues over the past few years, including pest infestations, flooring and wall problems in December 2023, and a rodent sighting in December 2023.
While recent Bedbug reports (from March 2024, December 2024, and previous filings) indicate no current infestations, there have been historical violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2023. The building's boiler system has also generated compliance concerns; in June 2023, four active violations were issued for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, and a $250 penalty was imposed in August 2022 for improper boiler key placement, though these inspections do not appear to have been subsequently certified. The Department of Health has responded to various food establishment complaints in the vicinity, with some requiring follow-up inspections and corrections between 2024-2025, though these are external to the building itself.
