5620 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 5620 Avenue N in Flatlands, owned by Paul Collica, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years, particularly in 2022-2023. The property, built in 1960 and consisting of two stories, has documented multiple rodent-related incidents, with seven separate complaints regarding rat sightings between June and July 2023, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge.

Recent health-related concerns include an active complaint from August 2023 regarding construction lead dust in common areas, which remains unresolved as of this report date. The building faced significant maintenance issues in late 2022, including multiple heating and hot water emergencies between October and December 2022, with at least five separate complaints about these systems.

Additional problems during this period included a power outage (November 2022), plumbing/water supply issues (November 2022), and several complaints regarding unsanitary conditions including mold (October 2022) and flooring problems. While some of these complaints were properly investigated and closed, with no violations found in the power outage case, the frequency and variety of issues during this period raise concerns about the building's overall maintenance and infrastructure reliability. The property currently shows active health and safety concerns with the unresolved lead dust complaint, though all other documented issues from 2022-2023 appear to have been closed through various resolutions or inspections.
