4416 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 4416 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, currently owned by Angela Membreno, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with three emergency complaints documented between March 2022 and September 2023, including a recent cluster of complaints in September 2023 that could not be verified by inspectors due to access issues. The building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years, including three significant violations issued in January 2023 regarding the need for proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, though these were certified as corrected in March 2023.

There are several open violations specifically affecting Apartment 3, including issues with smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality, a defective self-closing door, and inadequate hot water supply in the bathroom. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, with the most recent filing in September 2024 showing zero infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, though a single infested unit was reported in the 2019-2020 period.

While the building appears to have passed recent bedbug inspections, it should be noted that there were violations cited in both 2023 and 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement. The most recent rodent inspection from March 2017 resulted in a passing grade. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly regarding heating systems and safety equipment, though many earlier violations have been addressed and closed.
