5717 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 6-unit residential building at 5717 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Lilan Wu, has a recorded history dating back to its 1904 construction as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a building-wide heating and hot water complaint in May 2019, which HPD was unable to inspect despite being classified as an emergency situation.

The building has displayed consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with all annual reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While there were three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, the most recent December 2024 filing shows continued compliance with no reported infestations.

Additional maintenance concerns include an open violation from May 2019 regarding inadequate air conditioner support brackets at the 3rd and 4th stories on the building's front, which remains unresolved as of the latest available information. The building's 311 service record includes a food-related complaint from July 2022, which was administratively closed, and a Department of Buildings complaint from June 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the building on their final attempt. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building's most recent bedbug reports demonstrate continued vigilance and compliance with city regulations, with no infestation cases reported over the past five years.
