482 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story New Law Tenement building at 482 5th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Steve Shakarchy and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most significantly, the building currently has two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations (as of June 2023) for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018 and 2019.
The building has a history of receiving annual Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, however, these violations appear to have been resolved as the most recent bedbug reports (filing in 2025 for the 2023-2024 period) show no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple complaints between 2024 and 2025, including concerns about sidewalk shed conditions and drainage issues, though these complaints were found to have no violations warranting enforcement action.
A previous violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection was dismissed in February 2021. On a more positive note, the building's maintenance record shows consistent reporting of bedbug status with zero infestations documented in the past four reporting periods, and a permit for unspecified work was issued in January 2021. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2023, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing full compliance with reporting requirements.
