540 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-unit residential building at 540 East 5th Street in Kensington, owned by Dov Fried and built in 1925, has experienced several significant events over the past five years. Most notably, the building has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating potential issues with compliance rather than active infestations, as the bedbug report from the 2019-2020 period shows no documented infestations.

A heat and hot water emergency complaint was filed and resolved in December 2020, though this incident suggests past concerns with building systems. In mid-2021, an illegal carport/driveway incident resulted in a filed environmental control board violation and a $1,250 penalty related to parking regulations, though records indicate this violation is currently "active." The building's documented history shows some maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements which remain unresolved through 2024.

While the heat and hot water issue from 2020 was addressed promptly, it adds to the building's history of system-related complaints. The illegal parking situation from 2021 represents the most recent active violation on record. It's important to note that while these issues warrant attention, they are based on historical records and may not necessarily reflect the current state of the building as of 2025.
