283 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 25-unit, 6-story residential building at 283 East 5th Street in Kensington, owned by Ari Farkas, was constructed in 1935 and has undergone several notable incidents over recent years. The building has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no documented infestations or related issues in the past three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024, with the most recent filing in December 2024 confirming zero infested or eradicated units.
The property has faced some administrative challenges, including three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2022 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's Department of Buildings (DOB) history reveals several energy-related compliance issues in 2020, including failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores, though these violations were eventually dismissed.
More recently, in late 2023 and December 2024, there were two complaints inspected regarding site conditions and Local Law 188/17 compliance, with the latter showing no violations at the time of inspection. A notable service request in January 2020 regarding an electric/gas range issue was closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building underwent several permit issuances in 2019, primarily related to plumbing and electrical work, though specific details regarding the nature of these permits are not provided in the available data.
