608 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, single-unit building at 608 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Armando Shena, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning compliance with annual inspection requirements. Most prominently, there are multiple ongoing violations (as of 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with similar violations noted in previous years (2021-2023). The property has also faced challenges with external low-pressure inspections, receiving multiple violations in 2023 for failure to file reports from 2018-2021, though these were subsequently dismissed in 2024.

A significant safety incident occurred in 2018 when construction workers were found improperly disposing of debris from an elevated surface, resulting in a violation with a $625 penalty. While there were two complaints filed in 2020 (regarding COVID-19 compliance) and 2018 (related to unsafe demolition), both were closed without any violations being substantiated. The building's maintenance history includes proper rodent control measures, with inspections in 2011 showing both a pass and an initial failure for "Other Reasons." Bedbug reporting for 2019-2021 indicated no infestations, with all reported units being either infestation-free or successfully treated.

Multiple permits have been issued between 2018-2021 for various types of work, including plumbing and alteration-related projects, as part of the job sequence 321724693. The most recent bedbug report filing (2022) indicated no infested units, while previous filings (2021 and 2020) similarly showed no infestation issues. Despite the pattern of violations regarding annual filings, the property management has generally maintained compliance with basic safety requirements, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspections and the resolution of several violations through dismissal.
