5315 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, two-unit building at 5315 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Pikyuen Chan, has experienced several recurring regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, the property received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2022, 2024, and the latest in July 2025 show no reported infestations during their respective periods.

The building has faced significant access issues in 2022, with Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversion and certificate of occupancy concerns being marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." A concerning pattern of rodent activity was documented in 2019-2020, with bait application recorded in February 2020 following reports of rat activity in late 2019. Regarding building improvements and compliance efforts, a permit was issued in December 2018 under job number 322026428, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the records.

An Environmental Control Board violation from January 2018 related to failed compliance with a commissioner's order was ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since the requirements were implemented, with the most recent 2025 filing showing no infestation cases, which may indicate improved pest management practices despite the earlier violations. The building's history suggests ongoing efforts to address both pest management and building code compliance, though access issues have complicated some inspection processes.
