5219 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
5219 15th Avenue is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1933 located in Borough Park and currently owned by Vjollc Sabaj. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitary issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests in 2024-2025, including recent HPD violations in March 2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage. There have been several failed inspections and access issues preventing full inspections of complaints in 2024.
Rodent activity has been documented in inspections throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent compliance inspection in January 2025 noting rat activity. The building has a history of elevator maintenance challenges, with three separate complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2020-2021, resulting in Oath Violations. Multiple violations were issued in 2020 regarding fire safety and maintenance requirements, including issues with fire escape access, roof bulkhead repairs, and fire escape painting needs.
While many violations have been resolved through proper correction and certification, including those relating to fire escape access and roof repairs, recent building inspections have continued to reveal maintenance concerns. The building's heating and plumbing systems have also experienced issues, with complaints about heat/hot water in 2020 and plumbing problems in 2021, though these were addressed and closed without violations. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing no infestation during the past five reporting periods (2019-2024).
