5816 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The two-family residence at 5816 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Alice Sorensen-Bauman, has a relatively modest but concerning set of recent housing-related incidents. Most notably, a bee/wasp-related complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2022 remains unresolved as of September 2025, which could potentially impact resident comfort and safety.
A significant enforcement action occurred in September 2024 when the Department of Buildings initiated an investigation into an illegal conversion at the property, though repeated inspection attempts in November 2024 were unsuccessful as the inspector was unable to gain access. On a more positive note regarding pest management, the building's most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infestation activity, with zero units reporting infestation, eradication needs, or re-infestation.
While the absence of bedbugs is a positive indicator, the unresolved bee/wasp situation and the illegal conversion complaint remain notable concerns as of mid-2025. The building retains its original two-story, two-family configuration, which is typical for structures of its age and class.
