4504 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 4504 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Theresa Mendez and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues over the past three years. Most concerning is the building's current status as having open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with similar violations documented in 2023, 2024, and previously in 2022.

These open violations suggest ongoing non-compliance with required pest management documentation, though the building's official reporting for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infestations. The property has also faced rodent-related challenges, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene receiving a rat sighting complaint in April 2021, which was investigated but resulted in no violations.

In the summer of 2021, multiple bait applications were conducted (on June 15, July 13, July 15, and July 27), with inspections in July 2021 showing successful bait application and ultimately passing inspection. While these rodent control measures were taken, they suggest a period of pest management activity within the building's recent history. The building's overall condition reflects a mixture of compliance and ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to the pattern of bedbug reporting violations that have persisted into 2024.
