726 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
726 East 5th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Kensington, dating back to 1905 and currently owned by Jacob Friedman. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent water leak complaint filed in March 2024.
In 2018, there was a significant water leak incident that resulted in violations, and multiple unsanitary conditions were reported in 2022, including sewage problems and pest infestations. The building underwent various maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 1, where violations related to lead paint hazards, damaged plaster surfaces, and multiple water-related issues were documented between 2018-2019. The property has faced several regulatory and compliance issues, including an illegal conversion complaint in 2023 and multiple construction-related violations in November 2022, with active ECB violations related to unpermitted plumbing and excavation work, each carrying a $2,500 penalty.
The building's maintenance history shows an effort to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in recent years (most recent filings in 2024 and 2025). A rodent inspection in 2017 resulted in a passing score. Despite these ongoing maintenance and compliance issues, recent bedbug reports indicate effective pest management, with no units affected between 2020-2025.
