142 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 142 North 5th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay, has a history dating back to 1910 and has experienced various maintenance and regulatory events over recent years. Most notably, the building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections, including recent inspections in 2024 and 2019, although a rat activity issue was documented in March 2019.

Recent building health has been generally positive, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responding to a pigeon waste complaint in October 2024 and finding no violations during their inspection. The property has been subject to Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2023, with records showing no violations warranted during inspections in January and November 2023.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of adherence to safety regulations, including the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3L in 2008, though several other housing maintenance code violations were recorded and presumably addressed. Importantly, the property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2020 through 2025, with zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all dwelling units during this period. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, including defective plastered surfaces and paint problems in apartment 3L (which were presumably addressed), the recent history shows improved building management and compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly regarding pest control and safety equipment requirements.
