1601 West 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The four-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building at 1601 West 5th Street in Gravesend, constructed in 1929 and owned by Antonina Parlanti, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding heat and hot water systems, with three separate incidents reported between 2022 and 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to verify the conditions in some cases.
The building has also faced persistent water-related problems, with complaints about leaks and damp spots occurring between 2022 and 2023, along with issues concerning ceilings, flooring, and electrical wiring. The property has several open violations that warrant attention, including issues with the fire escape system identified in June 2022 (defective drop ladder and obstruction), concerns about excessive waste accumulation in the front and south yards, and a cockroach infestation documented in apartment A2 in October 2022.
While no bedbug infestations have been reported in the last three years (2022-2025), there was one case documented in 2019. Historical complaints from 2019-2022 include several failed inspections regarding illegal conversions and sidewalk modifications, though no violations were ultimately found upon inspection. The building's management has consistently filed timely bedbug reports showing minimal infestation history, with the most recent reports (2024-2025) indicating zero infested units.
