5 St Pauls Place, Brooklyn, NY 11226

5 St Pauls Place, a 4-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Flatbush, contains 25 units and is currently owned by James D. Dimitriades. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with 2025 showing significant activity including complaints about heat/hot water, water leaks, and various paint/plaster issues.

Notably, there were violations issued in March 2025 regarding door/window conditions, and multiple service requests were either not fully inspected or resulted in violations that required correction. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with documented violations for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1D from late 2024, and issues in December 2024 regarding access to the heating system in the basement. Other maintenance issues have included water supply problems, electrical concerns, and the presence of mold in various units.

The building's regulatory history shows some concerning patterns, including multiple housing maintenance code violations needing correction, such as the presence of peeling paint requiring remediation and the need for proper window guards. However, it's worth noting that there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five years, and the most recent rodent inspection from October 2024 showed the building passed inspection. Despite these improvements, the building has seen consistent maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations requiring attention. While some historical complaints have been addressed and closed, including those related to bathroom mold, heating issues, and plumbing problems, the volume of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
