1425 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1425 East 5th Street in Midwood, owned by Dina Colasuonno and constructed in 1929, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years. Most notably, in December 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding heating problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some inspection attempts failing due to lack of access.

A similar pattern occurred in April 2021, when multiple complaints were filed, though some units reported restoration of heat and hot water during the inspection. These incidents were categorized as emergency situations and all related complaints have been officially closed. The building has also been subject to regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

Between 2021 and 2024, there were four recorded violations (April 2021, February 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. However, in a positive development, the most recent bedbug filings from 2022-2025 show no reported infestations, with records indicating zero infested units, eradicated units, and re-infested units during the past four reporting periods. The building's record shows these violations were addressed through compliance, as indicated by their "Close" status, and the property appears to be currently free of both bedbug and heating system issues, based on the most recent filings and inspection results from April 2024.
