217 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 217 East 5th Street in Kensington, owned by Anwar Bissada, was constructed in 1925 and has been designated as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property.
The building has experienced recurring issues with housing maintenance compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements; there are currently four open Class A violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules. The most recent violation was issued in April 2024, following a pattern of non-compliance over the previous three years.
Additionally, there was a significant public health concern in 2021 when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a complaint about unmaintained standing water in the form of a swimming pool, which resulted in the property owner receiving a summons, though this issue appears to have been resolved promptly. While the bedbug reporting violations represent an ongoing regulatory compliance issue, the building's history shows limited other complaints or violations that would affect resident safety or comfort.
