5006 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

Located in Sunset Park, this 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 5006 3rd Avenue, owned by Jin Huang, has experienced several maintenance issues since late 2019. Most notably, there was a series of three heat and hot water complaints between December 21-27, 2019, which required HPD intervention, though heat and hot water was reportedly restored by December 23.

The building has faced ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, including open violations related to safety notifications that were documented in December 2019 regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. The property has a recurring history of bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2024 and previous violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021 suggesting non-compliance with annual reporting requirements.

In December 2019, the building was issued Class C violations for pest infestations specifically involving roaches and mice in the third-floor apartment. While the most recent bedbug report filed in June 2023 for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicated zero infested units or re-infestations, this follows multiple years of violation history. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older structures, but the pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes through mid-2025.
