5217 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
5217 13th Avenue is a 4-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building located in Borough Park, built in 1926 and currently owned by Eddy Gutic. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly during the winter months of 2023 and 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants and verified by HPD inspections.
Most concerning is a recent June 2025 roofing issue that resulted in violations being issued, following similar problems earlier documented in November 2023 affecting apartment D5's bathroom and kitchen ceilings. The building has undergone multiple inspections revealing various maintenance concerns, including plumbing issues, ceiling paint/plaster problems, and general maintenance matters. Of particular note are several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2021 related to work without proper permits and occupancy issues, with substantial penalty amounts totaling over $40,000 still appearing as balances due.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020-2025 showing zero cases, and passed a rodent inspection in October 2022. Recent housing maintenance inspections (2023-2024) revealed various violations, including egress obstruction at fire escapes and faulty ceramic tiles in public areas, though many of these have been closed following corrections. The building's management has faced scrutiny for not promptly certifying correction of certain immediately hazardous violations from 2019, which remain active as of the most recent data.
