5907 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5907 7th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1922 in Sunset Park, currently owned by Gongfang Chen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in December 2019 when there were power outages and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, both classified as immediate emergencies.

In mid-2020, there were sanitation concerns related to garbage/recycling storage that prompted violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced structural and upkeep challenges, with multiple violations documented in July 2020 regarding encumbered public halls on all three stories, and a mouse infestation problem identified in the first-story public hall that same month.

More recent records indicate some positive developments, including the building passing a rodent inspection in February 2023, though there was a complaint about an improper vent/exhaust system in late 2022 that resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports filed annually from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. The building's violation history shows that most issues have been addressed and closed, including the sanitary violations and building-wide heat/water problems, though there is one open violation from 2022 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements (though subsequent reports suggest compliance).
