5605 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
At 5605 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, this 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1906 is currently facing several maintenance challenges as of mid-2025. The most pressing recent issues, documented in June 2025, include violations related to wall paint/plaster conditions, mold (an unsanitary condition), and floor problems, for which HPD has issued violations requiring correction.
Other recent complaints from June 2025 that were inspected but found not to violate housing laws include issues with appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), electrical wiring, window frames, and plumbing related to a basin/sink. The building's heating/hot water systems have been problematic, with complaints filed in February 2024 and November 2024, though both were inspected and found not to violate housing laws. The property has an active violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, continuing a pattern of non-compliance with these inspections dating back to 2018, with violations from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Surprisingly, three previous low pressure inspection violations from June 2023 and a boiler inspection violation from 2019 were dismissed in March 2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). While the recent cluster of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that inspections have often found conditions not to violate housing laws, though these inspections don't necessarily reflect any pending violations that may have been noted prior to inspection.
