This building has a substantial enforcement record over the last seven years, and our model predicts continuing maintenance failures over the next 12 months. Read the records below before you sign. Ask which issues were resolved, get repair commitments in writing, and inspect the unit yourself.
This building has 156 recorded HPD violations, above the Kensington average of 25.0.
The 4-story, 24-unit residential building at 723 East 5th Street in Kensington, owned by Ocean 5 LLC, has accumulated a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues since 1930. Most recently, in August 2026, multiple Class B hazardous violations were issued, including problems with safety devices (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and physical maintenance issues such as broken window sashes, damaged walls, and flooring problems, particularly in apartments 1C and 5C. The building has experienced ongoing sanitation problems, with multiple open 311 complaints in 2026 regarding garbage/recycling storage. Of particular concern is an active ECB violation (as of June 2026) regarding obstructed exit passageways affecting fire escape windows, and a significant window-related moisture damage issue from February 2026 that resulted in a $2,500 penalty.

What's in the 723 East 5 Street report
Is 723 East 5 Street rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 723 East 5 Street covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
