8510 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family residence at 8510 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by York Yee Chan, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Most concerning is an active food poisoning complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in June 2025, which is still in progress.

This follows a prior DOHMH investigation from February 2022 through June 2024 regarding rodent, insect, and garbage issues in a food establishment that was eventually administratively closed after being addressed. The building, constructed in 1931, has a documented history of maintaining rodent inspection compliance, having passed inspections in April and May of 2017. The property has had at least one documented violation with the Environmental Control Board in June 2018, involving unauthorized work related to business signage installation without the required permits, for which a penalty of $620 was imposed and subsequently resolved.

Additionally, a permit was issued in July 2018 for work associated with job number 321807336. The building has maintained its original two-story structure status throughout these incidents. While the recent food poisoning complaint and past rodent issues are noteworthy, it's important to note that various regulatory processes have been followed in response to these situations, including both permits and violation resolutions.
