5811 6Th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The six-story, eight-unit residential building at 5811 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Benny Fong and constructed in 1935, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2022, there was a significant enforcement action related to the building's Certificate of Occupancy status, resulting in an Oath Violation being served, though this was not followed by any reported violations in subsequent inspections.

During 2019, the building faced multiple complaints, including two separate reports of unsafe site conditions endangering workers (in June and September), which led to at least one Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded by July. Additional complaints that year involved concerns about illegal conversion, which were found to be unsubstantiated based on department records, and a "Sweep" inspection that resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.

On a positive note regarding pest management, the building's most recent Bedbug Report from June 2024 indicates no infestation or eradication cases during the 2022-2023 reporting period, with zero re-infestation incidents, suggesting effective pest control measures are currently in place. The building's documented history shows a pattern of regulatory scrutiny between 2019-2022, particularly regarding occupancy and construction-related issues, though most recent reports indicate improved conditions, particularly in terms of pest management.
