285 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

285 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Park Slope, owned by Ariel Blakeman and constructed in 1921. The building's maintenance record shows generally good upkeep, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2019-2025), as evidenced by consistent "0" counts in the building's mandatory bedbug reporting.

The most recent significant incident was a plumbing-related complaint in October 2020 regarding water supply issues, which was promptly investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations found. Prior to that, there was a face-covering violation reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in January 2022, though the resolution details were minimal. The building has undergone some permitted work, with three related permits issued in 2019 under job number 340662982, including exterior work (EW) and plumbing (PL) improvements.

These permits, issued between March and July 2019, suggest proactive maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure. The property has maintained compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, with no open violations or recurring issues noted in recent years. The consistent lack of pest issues, combined with recent permits for maintenance work and prompt response to plumbing issues, indicates generally attentive property management, though the single incident of a face-covering violation represents the only notable compliance-related issue on record in recent years.
