693 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

693 6th Avenue, located in Sunset Park, is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Abraham Sigman. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with the most recent complaints filed in December 2024 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, although one of these complaints was determined not to violate HPD housing laws.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and sanitation challenges, particularly in 2022, when significant violations were recorded in apartment 4R, including problems with multiple radiators, floor damage, and pest infestations (mice and roaches). Other notable violations from 2022 included unsanitary garbage storage conditions (October), various building safety concerns such as missing window guards (apartment 2L), encroachments on fire escapes, and door issues in multiple apartments. The building's maintenance records show consistent reporting of issues, with HPD violations being addressed through various inspection and repair processes, often requiring multiple enforcement actions to achieve resolution.

While the property has experienced pest-related challenges, including evidence of rodent activity in early 2019, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past seven years, as per the mandatory reporting requirements. A complaint regarding debris or potential falling hazards was filed in July 2021, but access could not be gained for inspection. The building has generally maintained compliance with official inspections, though some violations were classified as "Class C" (immediate concern) and "Class B" (less urgent but important to address).
