563 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 563 5th Street in Park Slope, currently owned by Richard Spettell, has been subject to recurring housing maintenance violations over the past four years, with the most recent being documented in April 2024.
These violations relate to the property's failure to submit mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with similar notifications having been issued in 2023, 2022, and 2021. Interestingly, the building's rodent inspection history shows a concerning pattern, with initial inspections in September 2017 showing rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection in November 2017 resulted in a passing grade.
In 2018, there was a Professional Certification Compliance Audit initiated, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their second final attempt in May 2020. While the building's age (built in 1904) and its current designation as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building class are consistent with Park Slope's historic housing stock, the persistent pattern of bedbug report violations and the earlier rodent issues may warrant attention.
