5506 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story New Law tenement at 5506 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, built in 1901 and currently owned by Haibin Zhao, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four open Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.
The property has also faced challenges with rodent infestation, as evidenced by a rat sighting reported in June 2023 that resulted in DOHMH violations requiring follow-up inspections. Between May and June 2024, the building underwent extensive rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded, though a June 2024 compliance inspection ultimately passed.
Additionally, there was a complaint regarding an illegal conversion at the property in November 2020, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification during the final attempt in April 2021. While some recent improvements are evident, particularly with the rodent control measures and the passing of the compliance inspection, the building's ongoing open violations and history of pest-related issues warrant attention.
