606 Union Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1901 in the Longwood neighborhood, currently owned by Stephen Wan. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past three years, with recurring problems related to heat and hot water systems, as well as unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

Most notably, there have been multiple heating system failures reported between December 2022 and February 2023, with violations issued during HPD inspections, particularly affecting the apartment on the 2nd floor. The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with inspections in 2023 (including November 30, 2023) showing alternating patterns of rat activity and compliance, following a similar pattern of rodent activity from 2019 to 2023. The property has multiple open violations as of April 2024, including issues with heat and hot water supply in the 2nd-floor apartment (22NDFL) and problems with the heating system access.

There are also active violations related to the annual bedbug report filings and an indication of required repairs to address visible mold conditions and plaster surfaces. The building's recent history shows a pattern of complaints about sanitary conditions, with multiple reports of mold (both emergency and non-emergency), pests, and wall maintenance issues. Despite numerous inspections and complaints, many of these violations appear to remain unresolved as of the most recent data through 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
