2151 West 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

This 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 2151 West 5th Street in Gravesend, built in 1940 and currently owned by Huale Ma, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2021. The building underwent numerous heating and hot water-related complaints, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in October and November 2021.

In December 2021, there were also issues related to cooking gas, with complaints being categorized as both general and specific to individual units. The building has two self-closing door violations from September 2022, one at the front entrance and another related to Apartment 3, though the status of these violations needs verification as of 2025. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting, showing zero infestations in the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), with the most recent report submitted in April 2024.

There were infrastructure-related complaints in late 2020, including work without permits and work contrary to stop work orders, though these were resolved in early 2021. The building has had multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2022, including both electrical and plumbing permits, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement activities. The most recent inspection-related violations were addressed, including a 2023 notice regarding overdue bedbug reports, which is typically a paperwork-related issue rather than a direct resident concern.
