4803 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement at 4803 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Yingki Ng, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Notable recent complaints include multiple heat and hot water issues in December 2023, with at least one being classified as an emergency.

The building has also faced challenges with sanitary conditions, including multiple reports of pest infestations between July and August 2023, and compliance issues with garbage/recycling storage in November 2023. Several housing maintenance code violations were documented during a June 2023 inspection, including problems with public hall lighting, the need for ceiling repairs, and hot water availability in the 4th floor apartment. More recent events include a boiler inspection in June 2025, which was marked as defective/inoperative, though this complaint was closed shortly thereafter.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings from 2021-2024 showing zero affected units and no eradication efforts necessary. Access issues have been a recurring theme in both 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected units for proper evaluation of reported conditions. While some violations from the 2023 inspections were successfully closed, including several related to encumbrances in public halls and lighting issues, there remain open violations regarding painting requirements and ongoing pest control needs in the 4th floor apartment.
