5516 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, five-unit building at 5516 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Ying Huang, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2023, the building faced multiple open violations related to safety documentation and emergency procedures, including missing postings for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The building's first story public hall was found to require various safety notices, including those related to bedbug reporting and tenant safety.

There was also an incident in August 2023 involving a heat and hot water emergency complaint that was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. More recently, in April 2024, an inspection revealed a violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though the building's official bedbug report for 2024 shows no units were infested during the previous year. The building has had other notable events, including a questionable gas hook-up complaint in August 2023 where the inspector was unable to gain access.

Previous issues include an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors in October 2020, which resulted in an advisory to the property management. Recent building violations also included a Class B violation regarding obstructed fire escape access from the third-story, though this is not a classified violation in the current dataset. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that many violations remain in "open" status as of the last available data, indicating these safety and compliance matters have not yet been fully resolved.
