5 Stewart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

5 Stewart Street is a three-story, five-unit old law tenement building located in Cypress Hills, owned by Robert McClain and built in 1911. The property experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout late 2018, with eight documented complaints between October and December of that year, most of which were classified as emergencies and were either resolved or closed due to lack of access for inspection.

These incidents were recorded through both 311 Service Requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. The building has maintained solid compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspection dates from 2012 through 2025. However, there are currently open Class A violations documented in 2023 and 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements, indicating non-compliance with HPD regulations.

Historical violations from late 2018 are noteworthy for various safety compliance issues, including the need to replace an illegal double-cylinder lock at the street entrance, proper posting of heating system access information, and requirements for gas leak and smoke detector notices. These violations were ultimately certified as corrected between late 2018 and early 2019. The building's most recent permit activity includes an issued electrical work permit in February 2019, with no subsequent permit history available in the provided data.
