5021 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5021 8th Avenue is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Borough Park, built in 1931 and currently owned by Thomas Chan. The building's maintenance record indicates regular oversight of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past five years, as confirmed by bedbug reports filed from 2021 to 2025 showing zero infested units in all reporting periods.

The property has experienced several maintenance challenges, including a water leak complaint in early 2022 that could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues. Two significant violations were recorded in 2022: one related to bedbug reporting requirements (noted as Class A), and another (Class B) concerning fire escape obstructions from flower pots, household items, and improperly placed air conditioning units on second and third-story balconies, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's inspection history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no reported infestations or eradication cases.

While the property previously experienced some rodent issues in 2014, with one inspection failing for "Other Reasons," more recent documentation suggests these concerns have been addressed. Two permits were issued in April 2019 for plumbing and equipment work (job number 321946819), though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. The most recent inspection in April 2024 noted a bedbug reporting violation, but this appears to be an administrative issue rather than a reflecting current infestation conditions, given the building's consistent reporting history.
