8325 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-story, 8350-square-foot building at 8325 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Shu Sheng Chen, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past several years. Between March 2021 and March 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with most complaints reporting temporary resolution of the issues.
More recently, a significant incident regarding the boiler system occurred in August 2023, with the Environmental Control Board identifying chimney and fire extinguisher problems that remain active as of July 2025, with a penalty of $312 imposed. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including safety violations in 2023 for encumbrances in public areas (including a standing radiator and refrigerator door in the first-story hall), and unresolved issues regarding a sealed dumbwaiter door on the second and third stories from 2022. The property's compliance history indicates attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), and while there were some rodent activity reports from 2013-2014, subsequent inspections showed compliance.
The building has undergone several inspections and received violations related to heating system maintenance, including multiple boiler-related complaints between 2018-2019, though these were generally resolved upon inspection. The Department of Buildings records show various violations and maintenance work, including an active violation for failure to file 2019 external low-pressure inspection documentation issued in June 2023. The property has maintained a consistent track record of submitting bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, showing diligence in reporting requirements, with no reported infestation cases during this period.
