1914 West 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1914 West 5th Street in Gravesend, owned by Meir Weiss, has a documented history dating back to its 1928 construction. The most recent significant violations, recorded in March 2024, involved lead paint hazard compliance issues in three separate apartments (1R, 1F, and 3R), though these violations have since been marked as closed.

These lead-related issues followed a previous pattern of concerning violations between 2021-2023, where the building was cited three times under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) rules for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent investigations showed no confirmed infestations, with official reports from late 2023 and 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The building's lead paint violations in early 2024 represent the only remaining health and safety concerns on record, though they were documented as closed violations.

The building's documented history shows regular monitoring and compliance checks, with the most recent bedbug reporting period (2024) showing no infestation problems. While the lead paint violations in apartments 1R, 1F, and 3R are notable, their status as closed violations suggests compliance was ultimately achieved, though as of the report date, certified dates for the lead violations were still listed as "None." The building's age and class designation as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historical status as a regulated rental property, subject to specific maintenance and reporting requirements.
