5512 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 6-story, 53-unit building at 5512 15th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Chaim Landau and constructed in 1939, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2025. During this period, there were documented plumbing issues with water supply problems, multiple instances of unsanitary conditions including pest-related concerns, and various paint/plaster complaints involving walls and ceilings.

Notably, violations were issued in connection with the plumbing and pest issues, while housing inspectors were unable to access certain areas to evaluate paint-related complaints. Prior to this, in early 2024, Apartment 6C received several violations requiring attention to various maintenance issues including water leaks, mold abatement, and carbon monoxide detector installation, though records indicate these were certified as resolved by mid-2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding plumbing systems and building maintenance.

There were also documented elevator service interruptions in 2019 and 2022, though inspections found no violations at the time. Environmental violations related to elevator maintenance were recorded in 2019, and while a rodent inspection in 2021 resulted in a failure for "other reasons," recent bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no confirmed infestations, with only one isolated case in 2021 that was reportedly eradicated. The building's management has generally addressed violations, as evidenced by the "closed" status of most complaints, though the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges throughout the property.
