9401 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

9401 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Falah Hamdan. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent problem being reported in May 2025 regarding lighting (HOUSING MAINTENANCE CODE) issues. Notably, there have been recurring plumbing problems, particularly affecting Unit 9, which has multiple open violations from October 2024 related to various bathroom issues including a defective radiator air valve, inadequate hot water supply, and visible mold growth.

The building has also faced safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple emergency service requests in March 2024 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently addressed and closed. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance challenges, including electrical problems (multiple instances of no lighting), heating issues, and various plumbing concerns. In addition to the ongoing violations, there were two unsuccessful inspections for alleged illegal conversions in 2024, though no findings were confirmed.

The property has no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with consistent records showing zero affected units between 2019 and 2024. A notable violation related to an air conditioner obstructing fire escape egress was identified in June 2024 and remains open. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, many of these have been addressed through the housing complaint system, though some violations, particularly those affecting Unit 9, appear to remain unresolved as of the latest available data.
