284 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
284 South 5th Street is a 13-story, 82-unit residential building constructed in 2014, currently owned by John Usdan and managed by Midwood Investment and Development. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its construction. Most recently, in 2024, there were concerns about the ventilation system and rodent/insect/garbage conditions in food establishments, though no violations were issued in the former case.
A notable incident occurred in 2023-2024 regarding the need for an engineer's report on structurally deficient conditions, with an associated $12,500 penalty that remains active as of 2025. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of violations, with multiple citations between 2020 and 2022 for various maintenance issues, including out-of-service conditions that created hazardous situations. The property has also faced challenges with building maintenance compliance, including issues with the parking garage structure noted in 2023, though this violation was subsequently dismissed due to repairs.
While the building has had three documented bedbug reporting periods from 2019-2024, the most recent report for 2022-2023 showed no infested units. Historical inspection records show variability in pest control outcomes, with initial rodent inspections yielding both failed and passed results. The building has maintained an active permit history, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with most permits related to elevator and plumbing work. Three separate bedbug reports were filed between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent showed no infestations.
