5122 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 5122 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Xi Hui Wu, has experienced persistent rodent activity over the past three years. The property, constructed in 1931 and classified as a 2-family house, has been the subject of multiple rodent-related complaints and inspections between 2022 and 2023.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) documented at least four rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents during this period, specifically in January 2023, February 2022, March 2022, and April 2022. All of these incidents resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The most recent inspections, conducted in early 2023, confirmed ongoing rat activity in both initial (March 8, 2023) and compliance (April 6, 2023) inspections.

Notably, three of the four inspections conducted between February 2022 and April 2023 (specifically those in February 2022, February 2023, and March 2023) verified the presence of rat activity. The building's management and maintenance response to these persistent rodent issues appears to have been limited, as evidenced by multiple service requests being closed due to overlap with earlier complaints rather than resolution of the underlying rodent problems. This pattern suggests an ongoing pest management challenge within the property, with multiple violations requiring repeated inspections and continued monitoring by health authorities.
