341 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

341 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building in Park Slope, Brooklyn, owned by Victor Calderon and constructed in 1920 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around safety systems and utility services. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a power outage that required HPD intervention, though no violations were issued. Between August 2023 and March 2024, multiple safety-related complaints were logged, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in these cases.

There were also violations issued in August 2023 for water leaks and mold conditions. The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with documented outages in December 2022 and March 2022 affecting the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly according to tenant reports. Recent inspections and violations reveal several ongoing maintenance concerns. As of 2023, there are open violations related to the roof leak over the 4th-story public hall, broken plaster and paint issues in apartment 4R, and various safety concerns including a defective self-closing door and loose door knob in apartment 4R.

Additionally, there are open Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding the failure to file certain inspection reports. The building's systems have been subject to regular inspection requirements, with a bedbug report filed showing no infestation during the 2021-2022 period, though there are violations pending related to annual bedbug reporting requirements. Rodent inspections show generally successful maintenance, with the most recent inspection in 2019 passing, though there was documented rat activity in 2010. The data suggests that while some maintenance issues are being addressed, there are persistent problems with building systems that affect resident safety and comfort, particularly regarding safety detectors and utility services. Recent violations indicate ongoing concerns about building maintenance standards, particularly in common areas and specific units.
