676 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
676 East 5th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Kensington, Brooklyn, and has been owned by Samuel Strulovitch since its construction in 1905. The building has experienced recurring issues with housing maintenance code compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in every year from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 indicates no infested or previously infested units for the 2023-2024 period, suggesting potential improvement in pest management conditions. The building has faced significant concerns regarding unauthorized construction work, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2023 and 2025.
Most notably, an active ECB violation from October 2024 details unpermitted work involving new waste lines, black cast iron piping, partition wall installations, and PEX plumbing work, with a $1,250 penalty imposed. Recent complaints in 2025, including one from May 30, 2025, relate to work without a permit and tampering with posted notices, resulting in Oath Violations being served. The frequency and recent nature of these construction-related violations, combined with the building's age, suggest potential ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that warrant attention.
