Augrented Insights Report for 400 5th Avenue

The 3-unit, 4-story old-law tenement building at 400 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Elie Ftehah and constructed in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating system problems, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints reported in October and November 2024, following an earlier pattern of similar issues, including an emergency complaint on July 29, 2024.

The building has also faced multiple window frame-related issues, particularly during mid-2024, and several electrical system problems, including a power outage in January 2024. Inspections in late 2023 revealed several open violations, including concerns about fire safety materials in the 4th-floor public hall, electrical service issues, and maintenance of self-closing doors.

The building has a documented history of pest management challenges, with multiple rodent inspections showing mixed results between 2014-2022, and a bedbug reporting period in 2021 showing no infestations. A 2021 ECB violation related to debris in the boiler room was noted, with a penalty of $655, and there is currently an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While some earlier violations from 2023-2024 have been closed, including issues with garbage storage and fire escape concerns, the persistence of heating system problems and the accumulation of open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
