5920 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-family house at 5920 19th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Edith Katz, has experienced several notable events since 2021, though none appear to have persisted or directly affected resident conditions.

The most significant incident occurred in late 2022, when a construction enforcement complaint led to a Stop Work Order on August 27, 2022, which was inspected and fully rescinded by October 3, 2022. This situation generated two DOB violations, both issued on September 10, 2022, related to the special inspector Alberto Roman, PE#95364 surrendering his filing privileges, though these violations were subsequently dismissed on November 28, 2022, when the Borough Commissioner rescinded the Stop Work Order under application #B00609730.

Prior to these events, there was a documented bedbug monitoring period from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2020, during which the building reported zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting either effective pest management or the absence of a significant infestation problem. The building, constructed in 1931, is two stories tall and contains four units, maintaining its original classification as a two-family house despite the unit count.
