1429 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 1429 East 5th Street in Midwood, owned by Michelina Caiati, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years.
Most notably, there are three open violations from 2021 to 2024 concerning the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, and an active DOB violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. The building has also faced multiple complaints about garbage and recycling storage, particularly in January 2022, when violations were issued, though some related complaints in 2021 were found not to violate any codes.
Other concerning issues include a sewage odor complaint in June 2021 that prompted a Department of Health advisory, and two significant violations from March 2022: one ordering the removal of flower pots obstructing fire escape egress on the second and third-story balconies, and another requiring cleanup of accumulated refuse and debris in the north yard. While some 311 service requests have been closed without violations being found, the pattern of sanitation-related issues across different years and departments suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
