5 Blue Slip, Brooklyn, NY 11222
5 Blue Slip is a 6-story, 103-unit residential building constructed in 2017 in Greenpoint, owned by Herminio Torres. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple building-wide outages reported between 2023 and 2025, though in most cases heat and hot water were restored by the time inspectors arrived. There have been several plumbing-related complaints, including concerns about bathtubs, sinks, and water supply systems, with at least one emergency plumbing issue reported in March 2025.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with windows and wall surfaces, though inspectors often encountered difficulties accessing units for inspection. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with reports from 2021 through 2024 showing no infestations. Previous violations noted between 2018 and 2022 included security concerns related to building entrance systems, electrical issues in unit 3E, and various maintenance matters in unit 3P.
Two active ECB violations from 2022 remain regarding elevator maintenance and repair requirements, while historical documents show the building has generally resolved past violations, including those related to emergency notification systems, window guards, and plumbing infrastructure. Recent inspections in 2024 addressed external lighting and elevator device concerns, with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. While the building is relatively new, these documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems such as heat, water, and elevator operations.
