5216 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, four-unit building at 5216 8th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Helen Hui and constructed in 1933, has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most concerning are two food poisoning complaints reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2019 and 2023, though both were determined to be isolated incidents.
The building has had recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, despite the filings themselves showing zero infested units during the respective periods. Two complaints regarding building systems were filed in 2022 and 2023 - one concerning elevator devices and another about work without permits - but neither resulted in violations upon inspection.
On the positive side, recent inspections have shown consistent rodent control compliance, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 passing without issues. The building's documented history suggests periodic administrative and reporting compliance challenges, though actual pest infestations appear to have been effectively managed according to the bedbug reporting data.
