4817 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

4817 6th Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Sunset Park, built in 1903 and currently owned by Shou Zhong Yu. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2019, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently closed, including water leaks (heavy flow and slow leak), plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and basin/sink), heating issues, and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system.

Prior to this, in October 2018, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and plumbing problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit to verify these issues. The building has maintained an active bedbug management protocol, with annual reports submitted to HPD showing zero infestations in all reporting periods from 2019 through 2023. Three violations were recorded between 2021 and 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation.

In late 2019, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the property. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, it appears that most issues have been addressed promptly, with the exception of the 2018 complaints where access was not granted for inspection. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2023 shows continued compliance with no infestations reported.
