5901 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
5901 7th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Sunset Park, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Hang Chen. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, with the most recent issues centering around unauthorized signage, as evidenced by a December 2024 ECB violation with a $625 penalty for unpermitted business accessory signs. Between 2018 and 2023, the building faced multiple housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2024 and 2025 indicate no current infestations.
The building underwent various construction activities in 2018-2019 that resulted in multiple violations for construction safety compliance, including one instance of inadequate log books and several worker training violations, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has demonstrated generally good building maintenance practices in recent years, with successful rodent inspections in 2018 and 2023 showing "Passed" results, and no reported rodent problems since the 2018 complaint. The building's recent bedbug reporting history from 2023-2024 indicates no infested units or eradication efforts during this period.
Two tenant safety inspections were conducted in November 2020, both resulting in compliance verification. While there were some administrative issues in 2019 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, these were ultimately dismissed following reclassification to lower priority levels. The building has maintained proper permit records for various construction and maintenance work, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for different types of work.
