5813 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5813 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in Sunset Park and owned by Sheng Hua Dong. Built in 1931, the property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The building has failed to comply with external low-pressure inspection requirements for 2018, 2019, and 2020, with these violations remaining active as of June 2023.

In early 2020, multiple violations were documented regarding building safety and maintenance, including the need to post various required safety notices related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heating system access, as well as addressing fire-retardant material and painting requirements in the first-story public hall. Previously, in December 2018, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. More recently, in February 2020, there was a sanitation-related complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance, with the most recent report filed in February 2025 indicating zero infested units for the reporting period. The property appears to have addressed its bedbug reporting obligations for the past three years, with no recorded infestations or extermination activities. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly relating to safety signage and building systems in 2020, there have been no reported violations of this nature in the most recent three-year bedbug reporting period, suggesting some improvement in ongoing maintenance practices.
