5 Sutton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The six-unit, five-story building at 5 Sutton Street in Greenpoint, owned by Matthew Keller, was constructed in 2001 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there were multiple plumbing complaints involving sinks/basins, and a paint/plaster complaint regarding walls, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification in 2025. In 2024, several electrical and plumbing issues were documented, including one violation related to a sink in Apartment 2R.

A significant building-wide heat/hot water issue was reported in November 2023, affecting multiple tenants. The building has faced persistent problems with self-closing doors, as evidenced by violations across multiple years (2022-2024), including issues with doors in Apartments 2R, 1R, 2F, and various public areas. Other documented concerns include a 2022 violation for mold in Apartment 2C's bathroom, a 2019 boiler inspection violation that was dismissed in 2023, and multiple electrical outlet/switch issues.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent reporting of various code violations, though many have been resolved. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), and recent rodent inspections (2010-2011) show some initial compliance failures that were later addressed. The most recent service requests from January 2025 regarding plumbing and wall issues were marked as non-emergency and closed without access for inspection. While some violations have been promptly addressed, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly with doors and plumbing, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
