8707 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 8707 5th Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Janice Wong and constructed in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three separate heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent occurring in November 2024 affecting the entire building, and no access granted for inspection. In 2021, the building faced multiple pest-related complaints, with four different reports of unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, though inspections resulted in either no violations or were closed.
Noteworthy violations issued in October 2021 related to Apartment 2F included lead paint hazards, mold issues, and problems with floor conditions. The building has been subject to several complaints regarding unauthorized work and certificate of occupancy issues between 2021-2022, though these were generally resolved with no violations found upon inspection. Recent bedbug reports for the periods of 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 show no infestation cases, indicating successful eradication efforts.
The property has maintained an annual bedbug reporting record from 2022-2025 showing zero infested units in the most recent filings, suggesting improved pest management practices. However, the recurring nature of heating system complaints, including both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, and the presence of multiple housing code violations in 2021, particularly regarding lead paint and mold in Apartment 2F, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2021 remain open regarding floor repair, lead paint hazard control, and mold abatement in Apartment 2F, though several other violations from that period have been closed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple complaints requiring intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
