## Summary

5221 8th Avenue (Brooklyn, NY 11220; tax lot BBL 3056580002) is a 6-unit walk-up apartment building (building class C2: walk-up apartments, five or six families), built around 1920, on a 1,600 sq ft lot zoned R6. City tax records list the owner as POON CHEE KWONG. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,132,000. As of November 9, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show three OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items. There were two 311 requests in the past 12 months and one HPD complaint since 2019. (Source: NYC Open Data — DOB, HPD, OATH, DOF, DCP and ACRIS datasets — compiled by NYC Property Facts.)
