Augrented Insights Report for 528 5th Street

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 528 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Michael Saperstein, was constructed in 1920 and has experienced several recurring issues over recent years. Most notably, the building faced multiple heat and hot water incidents, with emergency complaints documented in 2023 and 2020 regarding loss of service to both apartments and the entire building. The most recent service request in July 2024 concerned unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were found upon inspection by HPD.

The building has maintained an active record of both rodent concerns and pest-related complaints, with the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 resulting in a passing grade. Inspection records from October 2023 revealed several critical safety violations in Apartment 1R, including defective self-closing doors, locked heating system access, incomplete hot water supply, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, recording no infestations from 2018 to 2025.

Of note is a 2019 ECB violation regarding water drainage issues in the interior courtyard that reportedly affected the cellar level, though this was resolved. The Department of Buildings has identified one active violation from June 2023 related to failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection documents. While the property has maintained permits for various maintenance work between 2018 and 2019, including plumbing and electrical repairs, these appear to be standard upkeep rather than indicative of any significant structural concerns.
