4423 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 4423 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Xiaozhong Yuan, has been standing since 1926 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with the annual bedbug reporting mandate.

Additionally, there was an Environmental Control Board violation in May 2022 concerning maintenance issues, specifically citing chipped and cracked conditions at the rear exterior wall, though this matter was subsequently resolved with no penalties incurred. The Department of Buildings (DOB) has recorded two complaints of note; one in 2019 regarding an illegal storefront sign, which was determined to have no warranted violation upon inspection, and another in 2022 related to construction enforcement, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. A 311 service request from February 2024 regarding food temperature issues with a mobile food vendor was responded to by the NYC Health Department, though this appears unrelated to the building's residential status.

The building's most concerning issue appears to be the persistent bedbug reporting violation, which has remained unresolved over multiple years, though it should be noted that these violations relate to reporting requirements rather than active infestations. The property's age is reflected in the documented exterior maintenance needs, particularly regarding the rear wall conditions noted in 2022. The various service requests and violations suggest an ongoing pattern of administrative and maintenance compliance issues, though the specific impact on current residents cannot be determined solely from this historical data.
