355 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

355 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Meir Bouskila. The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues, with multiple complaints documented between 2021 and 2024. Most notably, there was a significant cluster of issues in February 2024 involving inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building and in individual apartments (notably in Apartments 5 and 8), as well as water supply problems that resulted in multiple Emergency complaints and corresponding violations.

Additional violations from 2024 included issues with self-closing doors, hot water supply, and access to the heating system. The building's recent history also shows concerns with food establishment conditions, specifically regarding rodents, with inspections and violations recorded in 2024. However, the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all annual reports from 2020-2024 showing no infested or re-infested units. Three complaints about unpermitted work were filed in March 2022, but no violations were found upon inspection. The property's documented maintenance history shows a mix of resolved violations and recurring issues, particularly related to heating and hot water systems, which appear to be the most significant ongoing concern for residents.
