238 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
238 North 5th Street is an old-law tenement building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, containing 8 units across 4 stories, with construction dating back to 1910 and currently owned by Danny Mashal. The building is facing notable safety concerns as of 2024, with two open violations in apartment 3 from June 2024, including the absence of carbon monoxide detectors (Class B violation) and issues with self-closing door hinges (Class C violation).
While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing zero infestation cases in recent filings up to March 2025, it did experience one rodent sighting in October 2019 (resolved by late October), though subsequent rodent inspections in 2019, 2025, and others showed passed results. The property has a consistent record of permit activity between 2018 and 2021, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW), indicating ongoing maintenance and infrastructure updates.
Between 2021 and 2024, there were several housing maintenance code violations documented, primarily centered around bedbug reporting requirements, which were all subsequently closed. The building appears to have undergone regular inspections and maintained appropriate responses to most violations, though the recent carbon monoxide detector and door issues in apartment 3 represent the most current safety concerns as of 2024.
