5201 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 5201 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Beatrice Muller, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent concerns centering around pest control and building safety. As of July 2025, there are three active violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2024, and five open violations from October 2021 regarding fire escape safety, including defective dropladder adjustments and obstructions to egress.
The building has a documented history of rodent and pest problems, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions between 2019 and 2021, though the most recent rodent inspection in October 2023 resulted in a passing grade. Recent administrative actions include a heat/hot water emergency complaint in November 2022 that was resolved promptly, and a series of violations in 2021 involving safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and various maintenance issues such as mold, wall conditions, and plumbing problems, most of which were investigated without resulting violations.
The building's somewhat persistent issues with pests are highlighted by multiple complaints over the years, including validated violations in 2020 and 2021, though some inspections showed no violations. The property has maintained basic compliance with inspection requirements, passing recent inspections including one for rodent control in 2023, and has responded to various tenant complaints through HPD and DOHMH channels, with most issues being closed after appropriate responses, though some complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspectors.
