4002 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 5-unit, 3-story tenement building at 4002 8th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Steven Cheng, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has two open Class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as of April 2024, and a Class C violation from January 2023 regarding a roach infestation in a specific apartment (2F).
The building underwent multiple inspections in January 2023 that resulted in several violations, including issues with electrical systems (lighting, outlets), plumbing (radiator problems), door/window maintenance, and unsanitary conditions (pests), all of which were addressed but indicate persistent maintenance challenges. More recent service requests in mid-2023 involved food establishment complaints, though these were closed after being addressed. The property has an active complaint as of June 2025 regarding suspected illegal hotel rooms, though the inspector was unable to gain access on their first attempt.
The building's recent history shows ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance, including a power outage and various infrastructure issues in early 2023. The Department of Buildings records show a past violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report in 2017, which was dismissed in 2022. Rodent inspections reveal mixed results, with evidence of rat activity in 2020 and passing inspections in 2017, though the most recent 2025 complaints suggest continuing pest management challenges.
