5614 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
5614 6th Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Kwong Kuen Ho. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns currently being multiple plumbing problems reported in March 2025 (affecting bathtubs/showers, basins/sinks, and water supply) that were not able to be properly inspected by HPD. In September 2023, the building was subject to multiple inspections resulting in violations, including issues with unsanitary conditions and pests, door/window problems, flooring concerns, and various plumbing issues.
The building underwent substantial structural concerns in 2022-2023, during which time it was placed under structural monitoring due to reported shaking/vibrating issues. Numerous Department of Buildings violations were recorded between 2022-2024, including serious safety concerns regarding completely removed main stairs during construction work, non-compliant construction practices, and multiple safety violation citations related to emergency egress pathways, fire escape obstructions, and damaged stairways. While some violations from 2024 related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues were addressed, there remain ongoing concerns about fire escape obstructions and building maintenance as evidenced by various active and resolved ECB violations.
The building's condition has shown some improvements over time, with successful resolution of many violations related to security, fire safety, and structural repairs throughout 2024-2025. Notably, the property has maintained a current bedbug and rodent activity reporting history showing no recent infestations or compliance failures since 2022, though there were multiple rat activity reports in 2022-2024 that suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The most recent inspections and service requests indicate persistent plumbing issues, though historical records show improvement in other maintenance areas, including the resolution of multiple violations related to building safety and emergency egress systems.
