5015 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This three-story, five-unit building at 5015 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Kiet Ha, has been in operation since 1931 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has several concerning and persistent issues, most notably a series of recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate violations (all classified as "A" violations) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation still remaining open as of April 2024. Additionally, there is an open Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, representing an ongoing safety compliance issue related to the building's heating system.

More recently, in February 2023, there were two 311 service requests filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene concerning mobile food vendor permits, though these have since been closed in January 2025 without specific adverse implications for the building itself. It is worth noting that while the bedbug reporting violations and the boiler inspection violation raise significant concerns about the property's maintenance and safety compliance, no other specific habitability or safety violations are currently on record.
