888 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story Old Law Tenement building at 888 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Gary Chan, has a documented history of food establishment-related complaints and regulatory compliance issues, but shows exemplary pest management practices. Most notably, there is currently an active food poisoning complaint from November 2024 that remains in progress, adding to three previous food establishment complaints over the past four years, including issues with toilet facilities (2023), spoiled food (2021), and food worker hygiene (2020) - though all of these earlier complaints were ultimately addressed and closed.

The building faced administrative violations in 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection report, though this was subsequently dismissed by the Department of Buildings. In terms of pest management, the building has submitted six consecutive bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024, covering the required filing periods from November 2018 through October 2023, and remarkably, all reports indicate zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during these periods.

This consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with no reported cases, demonstrates effective pest control practices within the building. While the recent food-related complaints warrant attention, the building's historical records show that most issues have been addressed and closed in due course, with the exception of the currently ongoing food poisoning complaint as of late 2024.
