574 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 574 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Alexandra Varipapa, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most significantly, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in October 2019, which required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though the issue was reportedly resolved within three days.

The building has been subject to consistent oversight regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with annual violations issued between 2019 and 2024 for failure to file the necessary reports according to HPD rules. However, the most recent bedbug filing from May 2024 indicates no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, suggesting successful compliance in this area. In addition to the bedbug reporting violations, there are several open violations from October 2019 that remain unresolved as of the most recent inspection records.

These include requirements to post gas leak safety information, maintain self-closing doors, and display housing information guides in the building's common areas. The building's compliance history shows attention to rodent management, with two inspections in 2011 revealing a failure for "Other Reasons" during the initial inspection, though the compliance inspection passed later that year. While the building has a history of bedbug reporting violations and a brief heating system issue, the most recent records show improved compliance with pest reporting requirements and no significant recent safety or maintenance concerns.
