5719 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, two-unit building at 5719 8th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Keisang Cheung, has been standing since 1920 and currently holds several active violations that require attention. Most notably, there are multiple outstanding violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022, as well as an unresolved violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.

While the building has demonstrated good pest management with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (as evidenced by bedbug reports from 2021, 2024, and recent filings showing zero infested or eradicated units), it is worth noting that the property has repeatedly required enforcement action to ensure compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024. The most recent inspection of record was conducted in February 2023, which passed with no rodent issues noted.

A mobile food vendor complaint was filed in July 2022 and subsequently closed in January 2025, though this appears unrelated to building conditions. The Department of Buildings had previously investigated an illegal storefront sign complaint in 2018, which was ultimately determined to have no warranted violations upon inspection in September 2021. Importantly, while there have been several violations related to inspection report filings throughout the years, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing compliance with the most recent filing in December 2024, indicating that while there have been recurring compliance issues, the building has successfully managed pest control matters since 2019.
