5624 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This three-story, three-unit residential building located at 5624 8th Avenue in Sunset Park was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Hung Duong. The property has experienced several health and safety-related incidents over the past five years, with the most notable being an ongoing investigation since September 2024 regarding a cigarette vending machine, and multiple mobile food vendor-related complaints between 2020-2023, though these latter complaints have been officially closed.

The building has undergone necessary administrative actions regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted and subsequently closed in 2021 and 2022, though recent filings for the periods 2021-2023 and 2022-2024 show no recorded infestations. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has had multiple interactions with the property, primarily related to food safety concerns, including incidents involving food temperature issues (2019) and spoiled food (2018).

While these complaints have been closed, they indicate past challenges with food safety compliance. The building's permit history from 2018 shows at least two issued permits for work classified as Alteration (AL) and Exterior Work (EW), suggesting some maintenance or improvement work was performed around that time, though specific details of the work are not provided in the permit data. A standing water complaint from 2019, though closed, and various food establishment-related complaints in 2019-2023 indicate the building has faced various maintenance and health-related challenges over the years, though recent bedbug reports show no current issues in this regard.
