5606 9th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 5606 9th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Fan Yeung, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been consistent bedbug infestations reported, with the most recent filing for the period ending October 2023 showing all six units affected.

While the property has maintained records of eradicating the pests, the recurring nature of these infestations (documented annually since 2021) suggests ongoing challenges with pest management. The building currently has multiple active violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections, with violations noted for the years 2018-2021 and 2023. These safety-related issues appear to have developed gradually, as evidenced by a series of Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2022-2025 regarding bedbug reporting requirements.

Recent activity at the property includes a June 2025 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though this complaint was investigated and found not to violate housing laws, according to HPD records. A 2019 Department of Buildings complaint regarding alleged illegal conversion was closed without resolution, and while the building has seen various housing maintenance issues over the past several years, including multiple bedbug-related violations, most have been formally closed through compliance with corrective actions. The property has maintained its status as a New Law Tenement since its 1920 construction, and while it remains compliant with many housing regulations, the recurring nature of bedbug infestations and the active violations regarding low-pressure inspection filings represent ongoing concerns.
