662 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

662 6th Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Renee Shahwan. The property has experienced recurring heating issues between 2019-2020, with multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water problems that required HPD involvement, though they were unable to gain access to inspect the apartments.

A cluster of maintenance issues was documented in September 2019, including problems with various plumbing fixtures (bathtub, sink, and basin), as well as reports of malfunctioning kitchen appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator). The building currently has several open violations from 2019-2020 that relate to safety compliance and building maintenance, including requirements for posting smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, maintaining a working self-closing entrance door mechanism, and ensuring proper posting of housing information guides. More recent documentation shows improved conditions regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 showing no infestations or eradications.

The building's recent history indicates consistent bedbug monitoring compliance, with annual filings showing zero infested units. While the property currently maintains active bedbug-free status, the historical pattern of heating system issues and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing attention to building systems and safety compliance may be warranted. However, it's worth noting that the absence of recent heating complaints and the consistent bedbug-free status over the past few years indicate some improvement in overall building conditions.
