181 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-unit, three-story building at 181 East 5th Street in Windsor Terrace, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Khalid Bhutta, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the third-floor apartment (3RDFLO), as documented in 2024. Most notably, a July 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations in 3RDFLO, including problems with lead-based paint hazards, pest infestations (specifically roaches), uncapped steam risers, and issues with window guards.
The apartment also displayed concerns regarding peeling paint and defective self-closing doors. While some violations from this inspection were subsequently closed by July 19, 2024, several remain open, including those related to lead paint hazards, window guards, and the steam risers. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug report for 2025 showing no infestation cases in any dwelling units from November 2023 to October 2024.
This follows two previous years (2024 and 2021) with similar clean reports indicating no bedbug infestations. The property has also experienced some issues with general maintenance requests, including a radiator paint/plaster complaint in mid-2024 that was promptly closed within a week. The building's overall history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, though some recent violations have been addressed and closed, and the building has demonstrated a successful track record in controlling bedbug infestations.
