5707 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
5707 6th Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Maria Colandrea. The property has experienced several significant safety and structural issues in recent years, most notably a serious fire incident that occurred in June 2022, which caused substantial damage to multiple apartments (1F, 1R, and 2R) and structural elements including the cornice, roof, and parapet.
The building underwent unauthorized conversion from three to four Class A apartments, with illegal alterations including additional kitchens and bathrooms, which has resulted in multiple open violations including an active DOB violation regarding failure to file acceptable inspection reports for structurally compromised areas. The fire incident led to several other violations related to unsafe conditions, including concerns about a partially collapsed cornice/parapet, requiring emergency stabilization measures and the installation of a sidewalk shed for public safety. More recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have resulted in open violations regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though the building is currently not under any active fire-related restrictions.
The property experienced utility issues in February 2020, with complaints about power outages and heating/hot water problems, though these were resolved without violations. During 2022, there were multiple complaints about building conditions including shaking or vibrating issues, which resulted in a full vacate order being served. The Department of Buildings has issued several active violations regarding structural and safety concerns following the 2022 fire, though many related complaints filed in June 2022 were ultimately closed without violations being confirmed at the time of inspection.
