646 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

646 6th Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Steve Raptis and located in Sunset Park. The building's maintenance history shows several concerning patterns, particularly regarding safety and sanitation. Most recently, there are active violations from 2022 related to gas meters and piping in public hallways, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed.

In early 2025, the building submitted its bedbug report showing no infestations for the previous year, continuing a pattern since 2018 of zero bedbug activity. The building has experienced multiple rodent issues, particularly between 2017-2019 when rat activity was consistently documented, though recent bedbug and rodent reports show no current infestations. Significant recent maintenance issues include a 2024 plumbing complaint, which was inspected but found to have no violations, and a 2022 gas hook-up violation that resulted in an Oath violation.

In 2021, multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded, including emergency issues with fire escapes and flooring, as well as a range appliance problem in Apartment 4 that involved a gas range supply issue and mice infestation. The building underwent inspections in 2020 that revealed various concerns, including rodent conditions and multiple safety issues, though many of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued. While the building has had recurring issues with building systems and pest control, recent years show some improvement in bedbug and rodent management, with an active focus on compliance demonstrated through regular reporting and inspections.
