5001 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 5001 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, built in 1931 and currently owned by Fengji Enterprise, Inc., has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Notably, there have been multiple violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2022, with the most recent violation from June 2023 still active.
The building has documented rodent activity in 2020, 2022, and most recently in June 2023, persisting through inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Significant housing maintenance concerns were recorded in October 2021, particularly involving apartment 3L on the third floor, with multiple violations related to water leaks, mold, and issues with paint/plaster on ceilings. The building has also faced challenges with window integrity, as evidenced by emergency complaints in October 2020 regarding window panes and frames.
More recently, in 2023, there were complaints about food establishment conditions (including insects/garbage) and food poisoning that were investigated by the DOHMH, though the food poisoning case was deemed isolated. Of particular note is the building's current open violation status regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in February 2022, March 2023, and April 2024 that remain unresolved. An electrical wiring inspection in early 2025 showed no violations at that time, though this area warrants continued monitoring.
