5103 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, two-unit building at 5103 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Ying Hui and constructed in 1920, is currently facing multiple unresolved housing and building code violations that significantly impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, the property has accumulated nine open violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
The building also has serious outstanding violations regarding high-pressure system inspections, with ten separate violations issued between 2018 and 2023 for failing to file both internal and external high-pressure inspection reports, including recent violations in 2024 specifically for 2023 inspections. These violations suggest a pattern of neglect regarding both pest control protocols and essential safety equipment maintenance.
The building's history also includes a resolved Department of Buildings (DOB) complaint from 2018 regarding an illegally installed storefront awning, which resulted in a $500 penalty for Star Asset Holding LLC in September 2021 for a 4' x 20' red plastic sign with white Chinese lettering that read "YUM BAO." While this violation was resolved, it demonstrates past issues with compliance to proper permitting processes. The sheer number and persistence of recent violations related to bedbug reporting and high-pressure system inspections raise concerns about the building's overall maintenance and management practices, though there is no indication of any currently active complaints regarding the residential units themselves.
