483 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story, six-unit residential building at 483 5th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Maria Zefferino and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The property has faced recurring health and safety concerns, particularly in its commercial space, with multiple food-related complaints in 2024 including food poisoning incidents and issues with pests/animals in food establishments. While recent inspections (most recently in October 2024) classified the building's sanitary conditions as "Passed," a rat activity detection was recorded in February 2025 despite a prior compliance pass in May 2024.
The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges between 2018 and 2021, including multiple violations relating to floor repairs, window issues, and electrical problems within Unit 2R. The property has also seen two significant Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 regarding unauthorized work in the rear yard and obstructed exit passageways, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with records from 2021 to 2024 showing no documented infestations.
The property maintained a regular schedule of bedbug inspections, all reporting zero infested units. While there were various complaints regarding conditions like mold, unsanitary conditions, and garbage storage between 2018 and 2021, investigations generally found no violations. A Plumbing-related Stop Work Order was rescinded in 2020, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 were closed without penalty. The building's complaint history shows a mix of reported issues and responded repairs, with many cases being resolved promptly, though some recurring patterns of maintenance needs suggest ongoing attention to building upkeep requirements.
