5623 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 5623 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Xue Xie and constructed in 1931, has maintained an active compliance record in recent years, particularly regarding bedbug management. The property has consistently filed annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025, with all reports showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management protocols.

The building experienced several significant maintenance events, including a 2018 Department of Health intervention regarding kitchen/food prep area concerns, though these were subsequently closed. A 2019 violation for inadequate exterior entrance lighting was promptly addressed within a month of the notification. The Department of Buildings received three separate complaints between 2018-2019, primarily relating to permit issues and an alleged illegal storefront sign, but all were either closed with no violations found or unsubstantiated upon inspection.

Most notably, the building's recent records from 2022 onwards show no active housing maintenance code violations, and the most recent bedbug report filing in June 2025 for the period ending October 2025 confirms continued compliance with city regulations. Two permits were issued in September 2019, one for electrical work and another related to equipment, both of which were properly documented in the building's records. The pattern of minor violations being promptly addressed and the complete absence of current or recent pest issues suggest that while the building has experienced typical operational challenges over the years, these have generally been managed within regulatory requirements.
