5011 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

5011 8th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Yin Mui Hau. The property has been subject to recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, indicating non-compliance with mandatory annual bedbug reporting to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A rodent-related complaint was filed in April 2022 regarding mouse sightings, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent investigation found no violations, and an initial rodent inspection in May 2022 resulted in a passing grade. The building has encountered more recent mechanical issues, with violations recorded in September 2024 related to an unregistered gas-fired Weil McLain boiler.

This violation has resulted in an active Environmental Control Board case with a penalty of $3,125 that remains due as of September 2024. The Department of Buildings also documented a complaint about an illegal storefront sign in late 2018, though this was resolved with no violation found at the time of inspection. While the property has passed some inspections, including a rodent inspection in 2022 and a Health Department inspection in response to the 311 complaint, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations and the recent boiler-related issues suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
