884 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
884 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park, built in 1900 and currently owned by Viola Fong. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable problems occurring between 2020-2021.
In August 2021, there was a cluster of pest-related complaints, including both emergency and non-emergency reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, for which multiple violations were issued. Around the same time, Apartment 4L was the focus of multiple violations related to water leaks, damaged kitchen infrastructure, and plaster issues. More concerning was an infestation issue in 4L requiring the abatement of bedbugs, roaches, and rats, with the building receiving multiple rodent bait applications throughout 2021-2022 suggesting an ongoing pest control problem.
The building has shown some recent improvements, as evidenced by the Bedbug Reporting System filings from 2021 through 2025 showing no infested units in the most recent report (February 2025). However, there appears to be an active violation related to Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections from April 2021 regarding work stoppage orders, which remains open as of now. The property has maintained regular pest control inspections and compliance checks, with the most recent Local Law 188/17 inspection in July 2024 showing "Compliance Inspection Completed – No Enforcement Action Required." While the most recent records indicate improved management of bedbug and pest issues, the building's history suggests periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations and pest control efforts were required.
