9403 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 9403 5th Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by George Koutras, has been a subject of recurring housing maintenance code violations over the past several years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive annual violations from 2021 through 2024 (with the most recent in April 2024) indicating the building has not filed the necessary annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules.

In addition, there was a Class B violation noted in February 2018 concerning the removal of household items obstructing public hallways on the first story, which remains open. The building experienced one department of buildings complaint in 2024 regarding work conducted without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, although this complaint was closed with the determination that no violation warranted action at the time of inspection.

Given the consistent pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years, particularly with no documented resolutions, this represents an ongoing administrative compliance issue for the property. The building's age (1927) and history as a New Law Tenement class structure are consistent with its Fort Hamilton location, though no significant structural or safety violations have been recorded in recent years.
