7305 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The two-family house at 7305 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, built in 1915 and currently owned by Asif Noor, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly relating to heating systems. The most recent significant incident occurred in February 2022 when a heat/hot water complaint was filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

This followed a similar pattern in April 2021 regarding water supply issues, where HPD conducted an inspection but found no violations. A cluster of violations was documented in January 2018 primarily affecting the second-floor apartment, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, missing wood balusters in public areas, and a non-functional carbon monoxide detecting device, all of which were certified as corrected by March 2018.

The property has also been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings complaints, though inspections generally resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access to verify the reported issues. These complaints, recorded between 2018 and 2023, included concerns about illegal conversions, unpermitted plumbing work, and demolition-related issues, with one inspection in October 2018 finding no violations at the time. On a positive note, recent bedbug reporting forms for 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 show no infestation issues in the building, with zero infested or eradicated units reported in the past two cycles, indicating effective pest management practices.
