5116 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-family, three-story building at 5116 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Kam Tim Lam and constructed in 1931, has experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in 2025 that warrant attention. On May 15, 2025, the property was the subject of multiple complaints, including four separate issues involving window frames (two categorized as emergencies), two instances of slow water leaks, and one complaint regarding wall paint/plaster.
While all these complaints were officially closed by May 20, 2025, the concentration of maintenance issues within a single day may indicate ongoing building maintenance challenges. Additionally, the building came under scrutiny from the Department of Buildings in May 2024 regarding its Certificate of Occupancy status, with a complaint filed about possible illegal occupancy or conditions contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy.
This complaint was marked as "Closed" in May 2025 with a notation that the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt on May 28, 2025. While the closure of the complaint may suggest no immediate violations were found, the inability to conduct a proper inspection raises some concerns about the building's compliance status and the owner's accessibility for inspections.
