7411 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

7411 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and owned by Matina Perlegis. The building, constructed in 1936, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past few years, particularly concerning health and safety inspections.

Most recently, between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to cats on the property, with five separate complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between July and October 2024. Two of these complaints resulted in failed inspections due to access issues, while the others were closed in relation to earlier complaints about the same location.

Despite these recent concerns, it's noteworthy that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and no instances of re-infestation. The property also passed its most recent rodent inspection in July 2018, which was conducted as an initial inspection. The concentration of recent complaints (five incidents within a four-month period) regarding unsanitary conditions in late 2024 suggests a recurring issue, although it's important to note that DOHMH's investigations have not resulted in confirmed violations, and previous complaints have been nearly consistently addressed through reference to earlier filings rather than new inspections.
