326 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 326 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Carol Jones, has experienced several notable events since 2021 that warrant attention. Most significantly, the building has been issued four open violations (as of 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent violation noted in April 2024.

In 2022, the property experienced two water supply-related plumbing complaints within a short period (April 6), though these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and no violations were found. The building also had one rat sighting reported in June 2022, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations recorded. The building's history shows consistent passing inspections for rodent-related issues, with six consecutive passed inspections between 2015 and 2022, including inspections in 2018, 2019, and 2022.

A gas utility complaint was filed in January 2023 but was closed in March 2023 due to the inspector's inability to gain access on their second final attempt. The property's annual bedbug reporting requirements, which represent the only current open violations, appear to have been consistently overlooked from 2021 through 2024, with all four violations remaining unresolved as of the most recent inspection. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, including water supply concerns and a rodent sighting, the overall pattern of building inspections suggests that most issues have been addressed promptly, with the notable exception of the bedbug reporting violations.
