117 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
117 North 5th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Frank Mazzocchi. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with reports of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building in December 2023, January 2020, and 2019, though in each case, tenants reported that services were restored before HPD intervention. The building also faced cooking gas supply problems in 2019, which resulted in multiple violations.
A significant safety concern was addressed in December 2023 when a self-closing door violation was identified and subsequently corrected, though a related security violation from 2019 regarding a fastened sliding bolt remained open through 2023. Recent inspections in January 2024 resulted in violations for not maintaining required safety notices regarding housing information, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, though these were certified as corrected by February 2024. The building has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection from 2020.
On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2022, as confirmed by annual reporting requirements. While there were some rodent activity issues recorded between 2017-2019, recent inspections have not shown any such problems, indicating improved conditions in this regard. The building appears to be generally compliant with most recent housing maintenance requirements, though the heating system reliability remains a concerning recurring issue.
