653 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 653 6th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by George Capella, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2023.
Between February and March 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding pests, including several Housing Maintenance Code Complaints that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues, as well as plumbing problems including a water leak and hot water/heat issues, none of which resulted in violations. The building currently has four open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 through 2024, which represent an ongoing compliance issue regarding pest management documentation.
It's worth noting that despite the multiple complaints filed through the 311 system and Housing Maintenance Code violations, many of these complaints were either resolved without violations being issued or were not inspected due to access issues. The most recent service requests in 2023, while indicating maintenance problems, were generally addressed relatively quickly, with most being closed within a month of being filed.
