Augrented Insights Report for 5401 8th Avenue

5401 8th Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building located in Borough Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by Fanny Au. The property has experienced several notable compliance issues over the past years, most concerningly the current open Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding annual bedbug reporting, which have persisted since 2022.

There are also multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2018-2023 related to failed external low pressure inspections, with no compliance records filed for the years 2018-2023 showing consistent oversight in this safety requirement. The building has a documented history of serious violations regarding occupancy and usage, particularly in 2019, when the 2nd and 3rd floors were illegally converted to commercial use, operating as a mattress store and financial agency, respectively. This led to multiple violations related to occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy records, illegal conversions, and work performed without permits.

While several of these violations have been resolved with penalties totaling over $12,000, they indicate past significant non-compliance with building use regulations. More recent activity includes three food-related complaints in late 2024-early 2025 requiring DOHMH intervention, though these appear to be related to an adjacent food establishment rather than the residential portion of the building. The property has maintained passing rodent inspections in 2010, 2019, and most recently in 2023, and its bedbug reporting for the period 2020-2021 indicated no infested units, though subsequent reporting compliance issues have emerged.
