Augrented Insights Report for 5609 7th Avenue

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 5609 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Jim Chen and constructed in 1931, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple plumbing and water supply problems in 2025, with emergency service requests in February and May, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper evaluations.

In late 2024, there were significant heat and hot water issues reported in Apartment 3, resulting in violations for inadequate heating and hot water supply. This apartment also received citations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in December 2024, though these violations were certified as corrected in January 2025. The building has faced recurring challenges with pest control, particularly regarding rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 confirming rat presence.

Multiple food establishment complaints were filed with the Department of Health in 2023, though these were ultimately closed after administrative review. Additionally, there are several open violations related to bedbug reporting that have persisted since 2021, indicating potential compliance issues with housing maintenance regulations. The property's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to essential services like heat and water supply, as well as pest control.
