5114 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 5114 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Huimin Li and constructed in 1931, has documented several regulatory interactions over recent years. Most notably, there was a recurring issue with annual bedbug report compliance from 2021 to 2024, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) related to the failure to file the required reports, though these violations were eventually closed.

A more serious concern emerged in late 2019 when the building was issued a Department of Buildings (DOB) violation for failing to file the annual boiler inspection report from 2017, which resulted in a $1,000 penalty that was paid in March 2020. Despite these compliance issues, more recent records show an improved situation regarding both bedbugs and boiler inspections. As of June 2025, the building has filed its bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2024 and October 2023, both indicating zero infested or eradicated units.

The most recent filing (June 2025) shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements. Additionally, there was a DOB complaint in January 2024 regarding a potentially dangerous sign, but this was closed with the inspector unable to gain access for a proper inspection. The building's overall record suggests previous compliance challenges have been addressed, though it's worth noting that the pattern of bedbug report violations prior to 2024 could indicate past monitoring issues, despite the recent clean record in this area.
