5112 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, four-unit building at 5112 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Xiayang Ni and constructed in 1899, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over recent years. The property has maintained an impressive record in terms of bedbug management, with all six annual reports since 2021 showing zero infestation and successful eradication of any affected units. The building experienced multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2019, including issues with safety features such as a loose metal handrail at stairs (Class B), an illegal double cylinder lock on the entrance door (Class C), and various administrative code violations regarding required safety signage, though all these violations were subsequently closed.

In 2020-2024, there were additional compliance needs, including an administrative closure of a smoking violation complaint. More recently, in April 2024, an annual bedbug report violation was noted and closed, and in March 2024, a smoking violation resulted in fines and fees. A 2021 complaint regarding an illegal/Improper vent/exhaust was investigated and found no violations.

The building's recent history shows particular attention to fire safety and code compliance, with multiple 2019 violations requiring various safety signs to be posted, including smoke detector requirements and floor numbering. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no recorded infestations, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2025-2024 continue to show zero infestation and eradication counts. This three-story building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly in 2019, but has generally addressed violations promptly, with most resolved within weeks of being reported. The relatively few recent violations and the consistent bedbug management record suggest improved maintenance compliance in recent years, though the building's age means periodic repairs and safety updates continue to be necessary.
