5302 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 5302 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Qi Liu, has a mix of concerning recent issues and some historical compliance matters. Most notably, between May and June 2025, there were repeated complaints about pest issues in multiple apartments, though inspections could not be completed due to access issues. In late 2024 through early 2025, the building experienced significant heat and hot water system problems, with both building-wide and apartment-specific complaints, though these were reportedly resolved during inspections.

The building has active violations from 2024 regarding safety signage for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures, along with requirements for proper certificate of inspection display and the filing of an annual bedbug report. Looking at the building's history, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues during late 2024, and several recent service requests related to appliance concerns from May 2025. The building has undergone several inspections for illegal conversions between 2021 and 2025, though none resulted in confirmed violations.

Significant past infractions include 2021 violations for occupancy issues contrary to the building's certificate of occupancy, which resulted in fines totaling $5,000, though these were later resolved. The property has had recurring issues with building entrance conditions, including missing self-closing doors at the front entrance and various encumbrances in public areas. A rodent inspection conducted in December 2024 resulted in a passing grade, though recent pest complaints suggest ongoing challenges in this area.
