Augrented Insights Report for 5117 7th Avenue

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 5117 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Xiwu Hu, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most concerning are the recent pest problems, with multiple complaints about infestations in 2024, including an emergency safety complaint regarding smoke detectors in May 2024.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in July 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2F, including issues with window guards, self-closing doors, carbon monoxide detectors, and air conditioner obstructions. Plumbing problems were also reported in 2024, affecting both bathtubs/showers and sinks, though inspectors often faced access issues during their attempts to verify these complaints.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including a heavy flow water leak complaint in late 2020, and recurring problems with heating and hot water systems. Notably, there have been several complaints regarding unauthorized commercial use of the property, with inspections in 2020-2023 related to possible illegal conversion and use as an "adult establishment" or "massage spa." The property has faced enforcement actions for regulatory violations, including an open violation regarding the failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection, and multiple citations in 2018-2020 for not complying with orders to correct violations and file necessary certificates of correction. Rodent activity has been consistently documented through inspections between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing ongoing problems, though the building's bedbug reporting for 2023-2025 indicates no active infestations during those periods.
