4922 5th Avenue, Brooklyn

A single July inspection lit up the building's file with open leaks, mold, and fire-egress violations.

A small four-unit building over retail on 5th Avenue carrying 13 open code violations, including four immediately hazardous Class C citations. The bulk of the recent open violations stems from a July 23, 2026 inspection. Three things to know:

A July 2026 inspection logged violations from unit ceilings to common stairways. An inspector cited active water leaks, mold on the ceiling, broken plaster, and missing hot water in Apt 3B on July 23, 2026. The inspection also logged locked boiler room doors and locked roof exits in the public halls. All of those citations remain open.

Inspectors could not access the boiler room on multiple visits. The building was cited twice in May and July 2026 for keeping the cellar boiler room door locked without posting owner contact information for emergency heat system access. Both Class C violations remain unresolved on the record.

The 5th Avenue corridor carries steady commercial traffic and curb friction. Within three blocks, there were 226 illegal parking calls in the last year—mostly blocked hydrants—and 184 encampment calls. It is a dense, active commercial stretch in Sunset Park.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Bicycle and construction debris recorded blocking the public hall stairs in July 2026
• Missing gas leak emergency notification poster in the common area cited in July 2026
• 198 residential noise calls within three blocks in the last 12 months
