296 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 296 South 5th Street in Williamsburg, owned by David Ng, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone a conversion to a Class A building. The most significant recent incident occurred in December 2022, when tenants reported a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were restored within a few days according to HPD records.
Prior to this, in April 2021, the building received a violation regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation is listed as closed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2020, with all six consecutive annual reports (2020-2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.
Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in December 2018 resulted in a passing score. The building's maintenance history shows proactive compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent filings in January 2025 and December 2023, covering the previous two-year periods. While the heat and hot water issues in late 2022 were concerning, they appear to have been an isolated incident based on available records.
