5623 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
This 4-story, 7-unit New Law tenement building at 5623 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by David Ni, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three separate incidents of heavy water leaks in early 2023, multiple heat and hot water complaints in both 2022 and 2023, and a significant number of violations related to Unit 2F that were documented in early 2023.
These violations included issues with window guards, self-closing doors, lead-based paint hazards, peeling paint in various rooms, and hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees. The building's most recent housing maintenance code violation, recorded in April 2024, pertains to an unfiled annual bedbug report requirement, though previous bedbug filings from 2019 through 2022 showed no infestations. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2019 showing rat presence, though earlier and more recent inspections (2017) passed without issues.
Permit activity from 2019 through 2020 suggests regular maintenance and repair work is being conducted. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding Certificate of Occupancy status was filed in 2024 and closed in May 2025 with no violations found at the time of inspection. The building's combined history of water issues, heating problems, and code violations requires monitoring, though many of the earlier 2023 violations were closed after remediation.
