302 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

302 5th Street in Park Slope is a three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Eric Setton. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2021-2022. There is an open Class A violation as of 2022 related to broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint in the bathroom of the third-floor apartment, and an open Class B violation concerning a water leak in the kitchen of the same apartment. During 2021-2022, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, though all these complaints were eventually closed without violations being issued.

The building has also faced various infrastructure issues, including skylight and roofing problems identified during emergency inspections in March 2021, with violations issued for the skylight condition. A notable incident occurred in 2020 regarding work without a permit, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the complaint. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to rodent control, with passed inspections conducted in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and multiple bait applications in 2016 and 2019. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status, with all recent filings from 2020 through 2025 reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted several inspections between 2021-2022, addressing various complaints including mailbox issues, roofing concerns, and water leaks. Despite these issues, most complaints have been resolved without major violations, though some remain open regarding bathroom plastering and kitchen water leak repairs. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years. The most recent significant building maintenance issue appears to be the unresolved bathroom plastering violation from 2022, though many previous concerns have been addressed through appropriate inspections and repairs.
