1428 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 23-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1428 East 5th Street in Midwood, built in 1927 and owned by Anthony Colella, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most critical being recurring heat and hot water problems. There have been two emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2024 (December and October) and one in 2023, though the December 2024 complaint was resolved after phone confirmation of correction.
The building has also faced multiple door and window-related issues, with several complaints in 2024 regarding doors and window frames, though inspections did not result in violations. The property underwent a significant rodent infestation situation in 2022, with multiple complaints about pests, including cockroaches in Apartment B3, though subsequent inspections showed improvements.
A variety of housing maintenance code violations were documented in 2022-2024, including issues with self-closing doors, security hardware, and a problem with a lobby electrical outlet. Notably, all reported bedbug filings from 2022 to 2025 indicate zero infested or re-infested units, and a rodent inspection in September 2022 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting effective pest management since 2022. While there have been recurring maintenance issues, most have been addressed, with recent bedbug and rodent reports showing no active infestations, though some violations from 2022 regarding security and door mechanisms may have required ongoing attention.
