5218 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, two-family house at 5218 New Utrecht Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Aaron Berger, has a notable history of maintenance issues spanning multiple years. In 2016, both apartments (2FL and 2NDFL) experienced multiple violations, particularly affecting the 2FL unit which had documented problems including water leaks over kitchen ceilings, broken floors, defective plastered surfaces, and plumbing issues. Most of these violations were resolved by June 2019 when they were certified as corrected.

More recently, the building has faced significant compliance issues regarding external low-pressure inspection requirements, with active violations dating back to 2018-2019 showing failure to file inspection reports for 2018 through 2023. Additionally, there is an outstanding violation from 2019 regarding failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. A permit related to electrical work was issued in November 2018, though the specific details of the work performed are not documented in the provided data.

The most pressing current concerns involve the multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, which suggest ongoing regulatory compliance issues that have persisted for several years. While many of the historical housing maintenance code violations were resolved, the pattern of violations indicates a recurring need for attention to building maintenance and regulatory compliance. The property, built in 1930, has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of its age, though the recent focus has shifted primarily to documentation and compliance issues rather than building condition concerns.
