5201 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

5201 12th Avenue is a two-family, two-story building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, built in 1901 and currently owned by Faigy Friedman. The property has maintained its Class A designation and shows no current bedbug infestation, as evidenced by the 2024 bedbug report showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building's history reveals consistent bedbug report filing violations from 2021 through 2024, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating active infestations.

The property was subject to multiple construction-related incidents between 2019-2021, with three separate stop-work orders being issued and subsequently rescinded in 2019-2021, associated with construction safety compliance issues. These incidents resulted in three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including scaffold safety concerns and lack of roof protection for adjacent property, though these penalties were either resolved or dismissed. A notable incident in January 2021 involved a failure to renew the construction superintendent's certification, though this violation was also resolved without a penalty.

The building underwent several permitted improvement projects between 2019-2021, with multiple permits issued for plumbing, electrical, and alteration work totaling approximately ten separate permits, some of which were re-issued. The property’s record shows regular compliance with housing maintenance requirements, with the most recent bedbug report filings demonstrating proactive maintenance. The building's history of violations, primarily related to construction safety and administrative bedbug reporting, appears to have been addressed promptly, with no current outstanding violations as of July 2025.
