Augrented Insights Report for 5502 8th Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 5502 8th Avenue in Sunset Park, built in 1915 and owned by Mei Shun Inc, has a documented history of several concerning issues, particularly regarding compliance with inspection requirements. Most notably, six active violations related to external low-pressure inspection failures for 2018-2023 remain unresolved as of 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges.

There was also an ECB violation in 2018 concerning unauthorized occupancy of office space (specifically a driving school) on the second floor, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed. The building has experienced recurring issues with inspection compliance, including a violation issued in 2019 for failure to file a 2017 boiler inspection report.

More recent activity includes two permits issued in September 2023 related to plumbing and electrical work, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or improvement work. On a positive note, the property has reported no bedbug infestations in the most recent filing period from November 2023 to October 2024, with zero infested or re-infested units during this period. A 311 service request regarding a mobile food vendor in July 2024 was investigated by the NYC Health Department, though this appears to be unrelated to the building's residential operations.
