368 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

368 5th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Park Slope and owned by Brenda Casimir. Built in 1920, this OLD LAW TENEMENT has undergone regular inspections and reporting requirements over the past several years.

The building has experienced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four separate notices of violation issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § 27-2018. However, it's worth noting that these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicating an ongoing infestation problem, as evidenced by the subsequent bedbug report filings showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units for the periods covering 2022-2024, with the most recent 2025 filing confirming no bedbug activity during the 2023-2024 period. The building has maintained good basic safety standards, having passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2019, and 2022, indicating effective pest management practices.

A Department of Buildings complaint filed in February 2023 regarding tracking compliance resulted in an inspection that found no violations at that time. While the recurring bedbug reporting violations are noteworthy, the subsequent compliance with reporting requirements and the absence of documented infestations suggests the building's current pest management practices are effective, though still requiring attention to administrative compliance. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 indicates continued compliance with reporting requirements, with no reported infestations during the specified period.
