556 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-story, 8-unit residential building at 556 5th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Daniel Hill, has maintained a generally compliant record since its 2007 construction. The building has consistently submitted its annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code regulations, with the most recent reports for the filing period ending October 2024 showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units.

However, there was a notable sequence of violations related to elevator safety in 2019-2020, including a failure to file a Category 1 inspection/test in 2017, for which penalties were imposed and later dismissed, and a subsequent Environmental Control Board violation in March 2020 regarding missing door lock monitoring equipment that resulted in a $1,250 fine. The elevator-related complaints were promptly addressed, with one complaint about "No Alternate Service" being investigated and resolved within one day in March 2020.

The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with six consecutive years of reports demonstrating proactive management of this aspect of building maintenance. While there were some violations and complaints related to elevator safety in 2019-2020, these issues appear to have been resolved promptly, and there have been no recent elevator-related complaints or violations on record since 2020. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements appear to be administrative in nature, as the building has since maintained its reporting obligations.
