5001 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
5001 15th Avenue is a 6-story, 47-unit apartment building in Borough Park, constructed in 1934 and currently owned by David Nierenberg. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past five years, with particular attention needed on safety features and basic services. Most recently, in September 2024, violations were issued regarding the fire escape's safety features, specifically concerning the need for a stop at the top of the guide rods to prevent removal of the drop ladder.
The building has also faced several heating system issues, including a building-wide heat and hot water outage in November 2023, though it was reported as resolved shortly thereafter. A pattern of water-related problems is evident, with multiple complaints about leaks between 2019 and 2022, including heavy flow leaks in both 2019 and 2021 that resulted in violations. Additional maintenance issues have included pest infestations (noted in February 2021), problems with public area maintenance (including ceiling and wall plaster issues), and various administrative violations.
The building's elevator system has required attention, with a December 2020 complaint about a single device and no alternate service, and subsequent violations regarding maintenance and inspection procedures. Of particular concern are the four active violations (as of June 2023) regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years.
