5601 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
This three-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 5601 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Yaupong Yeung, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of food establishment complaints regarding rodents, insects, and garbage issues between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent complaint filed in September 2024. The building faced multiple health department inspections in 2023 and 2024, which were addressed but indicate ongoing concerns.
Additionally, there are two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, suggesting possible compliance issues. The property experienced heating/hot water and cooking gas access issues in March 2020, with inspectors unable to gain access to verify complaints. The building's fire safety compliance has been a concern, with two open Class B violations from 2020 related to fire escape obstruction—specifically noting air conditioners and household items blocking egress from the second and third-story balconies.
Two earlier violations regarding fire escape obstruction were successfully closed in April 2020. While bedbug infestations were reported in 2020 and 2021, subsequent reports indicated no infested units. The most recent Department of Buildings complaints and inspections from 2018-2021 related to business signage were resolved with no violations found. The building's permit history shows activity in 2018 and 2020, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data.
