350 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 350 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Abe Cohen and dating back to 1920, has experienced recurring heating system problems over the past few years. The most recent issues occurred in November 2024, following similar complaints in December 2023, September 2023, June 2023, and several instances in November 2022, all affecting the entire building. While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, the pattern suggests ongoing challenges with the building's heating system.

Additionally, there were two complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage in September 2023, though these were also resolved. The building experienced electrical issues in November 2022, including a power outage and loss of lighting, both classified as emergency situations, which were resolved without violations noted during inspections. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to tenant complaints, with most being addressed within a few days to weeks.

A bedbug inspection report for the period of November 2020 to October 2021 showed no infestations, and prior to that, a similar report from November 2019 to October 2020 also indicated no bedbug presence. An investigation into illegal after-hours work in November 2020 was conducted, but no violations were found during the inspection. While the heating system continues to be a recurring issue, the building's overall complaint record demonstrates responsiveness to maintenance concerns, with most problems being addressed in a relatively timely manner.
