5623 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11219

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 5623 Ft Hamilton Parkway in Borough Park, owned by Hung Kwong and built in 1931, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently, in March 2025, and earlier in February 2024, complaints were filed regarding system failures affecting the entire building, though inspectors were either denied access or found the issue had been resolved.

This pattern of heating system problems dates back to 2019, with five documented complaints in total between 2019 and 2025. The building has also faced various regulatory challenges, including an inspection in 2024 that identified an improperly installed self-closing door mechanism at the building entrance. Significant building alterations and unauthorized modifications have been documented, including two Environmental Control Board violations in February 2024 related to an unpermitted three-piece bathroom and unauthorized sleeping quarters in the first-floor commercial space, for which penalties were imposed.

Additionally, a 2024 Department of Buildings complaint regarding blocked egress and a 2018 sidewalk modification violation (now resolved) indicate ongoing concerns about regulatory compliance. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in both 2024 and the most recent 2025 reporting period, with no reported infestations or necessary eradications during these periods. While there have been some violations related to bedbug reporting procedures between 2021 and 2024, the most recent reports show proper compliance with no active infestations.
