5724 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
This 6-unit, 4-story brick building located at 5724 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Hong Sheng Zhao, has a complex and concerning maintenance history spanning several years. Most notably, the building has experienced recurring rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported between 2023 and 2024, despite some follow-up inspections indicating rat activity remained present. The property has also been cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with these violations still listed as open.
The building's food establishment (likely referring to ground floor commercial space) has faced multiple health department complaints between 2019 and 2023, including issues with rodent/insect presence and garbage, though these were administratively closed as addressed. Additional concerns include several Department of Buildings violations from 2018-2021, particularly regarding occupancy issues and unauthorized work. In 2018, there were violations related to occupancy contrary to CO records, and work performed without proper permits, including modifications to a ground floor store.
The building's environmental control board violations from 2021 noted structural issues such as step cracks and deteriorated stone window sills, though these have since been resolved. Recent inspections in 2024 have shown consistent rat activity, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. While the building's recent complaints have primarily focused on pest-related issues, the property has a history of various code violations that suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, with some violations remaining unresolved as of the latest available data.
