385 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

385 5th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by 385 Fifth Street LLC. The building's recent history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly relating to maintenance compliance. Most notably, there have been recurring violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

These violations fall under Class A categories, indicating they are serious in nature. Additionally, there is an ongoing Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation from June 2022 concerning construction lead dust in common areas, though this appears to still be in progress with no resolution noted. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with an inspection in 2018 revealing multiple problems in the public hall areas requiring attention to plaster surfaces and painting on both the 2nd and 3rd stories.

While one of these violations was noted as closed, the others remained open as of the most recent available data. A complaint was filed in June 2022 regarding work done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection. On a somewhat positive note, the building passed a rodent inspection in November 2019, suggesting that while there have been various maintenance issues, at least one aspect of building health and safety has been adequately addressed.
