5523 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 6-unit, 4-story building at 5523 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Xiao Yong Pan, is experiencing recurring heating issues, with three heat/hot water complaints filed in 2025 alone (most recently in April 2025), following similar problems in 2024 and 2021. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues in bathtubs/showers and sinks, as well as door problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.
Violations from 2024 included a broken lockset at the vestibule door, and there is currently an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The building's history shows consistent attention to bedbug prevention, with four consecutive annual reports (2021-2024) confirming zero infestations, though there was a notable violation in April 2024 regarding late filing of the annual report.
Previous inspections in 2021 identified multiple safety concerns, including clutter obstructing fire escapes, dirty vestibule floors, and issues with fire retardant materials, all of which were subsequently addressed. While periodic complaints have been logged regarding various issues from plumbing problems to door concerns, many have been resolved promptly, with several recent heating complaints showing signs of temporary resolution through HPD inspections. The building's permit history shows a record of regular maintenance, with a permit issued in late 2018 for unspecified work.
