5616 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This three-story, two-unit residential building at 5616 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Mandy Chen, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is the current open violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, indicating potential issues with pest management compliance.

The building has maintained a generally good record in terms of rodent inspections, with passed results in 2011, 2012, and 2018, and no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent 2023 filing period. The property has faced multiple regulatory challenges between 2018-2022, including two Partial Stop Work Orders in 2022 related to construction enforcement and plumbing issues, as well as an illegal conversion complaint in 2019 that resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. Of particular note is the active violation from 2021-2022 regarding plumbing work, connected to the revocation of a licensed plumber's approvals, which required immediate cessation of all related work.

The building has experienced various health-related incidents documented through 311 service requests, including a food poisoning complaint in 2024 that was determined to be an isolated incident, and a smoking violation in 2018 that was addressed. Historical data shows the property has undergone legitimate improvement work, with permits issued in 2018 and 2019 for various modifications. While the building's record shows instances of non-compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly concerning bedbug reporting and plumbing work in recent years, it has generally passed routine inspections for pests and maintained active permits for building improvements.
