5701 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 5701 8th Avenue in Borough Park, built in 1926 and currently owned by Huong Cheung, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. As of July 2025, the building has open violations related to bedbug reporting compliance (2024) and a fire escape obstruction due to an air conditioner installation (2024).
Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple health department complaints regarding food establishment issues, including concerns about food safety and mobile food vendor operations. The property has also faced recurring pest-related problems, with unsanitary conditions reported in early 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues. The building's compliance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, with bedbug reporting indicating no active infestations during the 2020-2021 period and a passing rodent inspection in February 2023.
However, there have been multiple complaints regarding illegal commercial use of the property, with varying outcomes; most notably, an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 regarding unpermitted signage with a substantial penalty of $6,250. The property has a history of inspection access issues, with several complaints in recent years resulting in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" responses, including complaints about plumbing work and bedbug reporting requirements. While there are open violations that require attention, the building has demonstrated some level of maintenance oversight, as evidenced by the resolution of many past complaints and routine inspections.
