272 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
272 South 5th Street is an 8-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Marianela Rodriguez. The building's maintenance history reveals several areas of concern, particularly regarding safety system upkeep, with multiple active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for the years 2018-2021.
Though there have been consistent bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024 requiring the annual filing of reports, recent filings (2024, 2023, 2022) show no recorded infestations or eradications, suggesting compliance with the reporting requirement now that infestation levels appear to be controlled. The building's pest control history shows mixed results, with rodent activity recorded in 2018, two compliance inspections passed in 2016 and 2019, and only one sanitation-related 311 complaint in 2019 regarding an unsanitary animal situation that was addressed by health authorities.
The property has undergone regular inspection and reporting requirements, including a 2023 inspection under Local Law 188/17 Compliance which found no violations at the time of inspection. While past inspections indicated both rat activity and subsequent compliance, the most recent 311 complaints and violations suggest improvements in both pest control and compliance with health department requirements. Notably, the building's history shows no documented elevator or fire safety violations, though the current active violations regarding external low-pressure inspections represent the most significant outstanding safety compliance issue as of 2023.
