5 Ten Eyck Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 5 Ten Eyck Street in Williamsburg, owned by Bersam Realty Corp., has experienced recurring issues with building systems and maintenance over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there were complaints about an uninspected refrigerator issue and door problems that HPD could not access for inspection. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water service interruptions since 2019, with complaints in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2023, though many were resolved quickly.

In 2024, several violations were documented in apartment 21 related to safety systems, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, as well as defective self-closing doors, though these were certified as corrected by March 2024. Additional concerns included water leak issues in 2019 (slow leak) and 2021 (heavy flow), and a 2023 violation involving an obstructed fire escape window air conditioner. The building is currently facing an active violation from December 2024 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency ratings.

Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any unit since 2019, with the most recent annual reports for 2023 and 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has experienced various other maintenance issues over the years, including problems with doors/windows, general maintenance concerns, and a bedbug reporting violation in 2021, though most have been addressed through HPD inspections and orders. The property's history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance oversight, though recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestation issues.
