Augrented Insights Report for 473 5th Street

The 12-unit, 4-story tenement building at 473 5th Street in Park Slope, built in 1920 and currently owned by Robert Villanella, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water outages reported in September 2023, affecting the entire building, though these were resolved on the same day according to HPD records.

The building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2016 and 2023 showing consistent rat presence, though the most recent compliance inspection in January 2023 passed. There are two active DOB violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2023, which suggests potential safety system maintenance oversight. The property has also faced various regulatory challenges, including a gas-related violation in September 2019 concerning unauthorized gas piping installation in Apartment 5, which resulted in a $625 fine.

While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the last three years (through the most recent filing period of 2024-2025), there have been multiple food safety complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, including issues with rodents/insects/garbage and spoiled food. The building's water heating systems have been a recurring point of concern, with past violations including failed emergency heat/hot water inspections. Regulatory compliance documents indicate ongoing requirements for the building to maintain proper safety posting procedures and annual inspection reports, though many of these violations were closed in subsequent inspections.
