381 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
381 South 5th Street in Williamsburg is a 5-story, Class A residential building built in 2009 and currently owned by Bh South Llc, containing a single dwelling unit. The property has experienced recurring issues with elevator maintenance and bedbug reporting compliance over the years. Most notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building received four consecutive Annual Bedbug Report violations for failing to file the required documentation, though the most recent filing for 2023-2024 indicates no infestation (0 infested units).
Elevator maintenance concerns have been significant, with an active violation from 2019 regarding unresolved defects detected in a 2017 inspection, and a 2021 violation resulting in a $3,125 penalty for multiple elevator maintenance requirements, including brake maintenance and log book documentation. The building has had several other maintenance and safety concerns, including a notable 2019 HPD complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which could not be inspected by authorities. A Department of Buildings complaint in 2022 related to vent/exhaust issues was found to warrant no violation at inspection time.
The property underwent rodent inspections in 2013, revealing initial rat activity, followed by multiple bait applications and subsequent passing inspections. However, more recent rodent inspections in 2016 and 2018 passed without issues. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints, recent records (2023-2024) show improvements in bedbug reporting compliance, and there have been no recent complaints regarding garbage/storage conditions or rodent infestations, suggesting possible improvements in building management and maintenance practices over the past few years.
