5706 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5706 7th Avenue is a four-story, seven-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Hakchi Wong. The building has experienced some regulatory challenges in recent years, with recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement occurring in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023.

However, it's worth noting that the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025 shows consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units, suggesting effective management of pest control despite the reporting compliance issues. The building has also faced several Department of Buildings complaints between 2022 and 2023, including allegations of illegal hotel rooms, illegal conversion, and construction work beyond approved plans. In each of these cases, inspectors were unable to gain access during multiple attempts.

A more recent technical violation was issued in April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed in August 2023. On the positive side, the building appears to have maintained its status as a legitimate residential property with no recorded infestations in the past five years, and the bedbug reporting requirement has been properly filed for 2023-2024, 2024-2025, and previous years, indicating improved compliance with this particular regulation. The most recent permit on record, dated January 14, 2020, was issued for unspecified work under job number 322018231.
