5208 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204
5208 19th Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Joel Rubin. Built in 1925, this property has experienced several notable events in recent years.
Most significantly, in March 2022, the building was the subject of multiple Department of Buildings investigations regarding unauthorized construction work, including an alleged illegal conversion from a 3-family to a 4-family dwelling and the erection of a vertical extension measuring approximately 19ft by 45ft. These violations resulted in active Environmental Control Board citations, including a $2,500 fine for work without a permit, though another violation related to tenant protection requirements was subsequently resolved with a $1,250 penalty.
The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations or eradications in any unit during this period. However, there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024 specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations are marked as closed. The most recent inspection in April 2024 confirmed the absence of bedbug-related issues, and the property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report (for the period ending October 2024) indicating zero infested or eradicated units.
