708 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

708 6th Avenue, also known as the Shangri-La Condominium, is a 6-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood, currently owned by Azad Ali. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. In 2021 and 2022, there were violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 indicate no bedbug infestations or related issues.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with two violations in 2018 and 2022 specifically citing issues with single device operation and lack of alternate service. Multiple Environmental Control Board violations were documented between 2018-2022, primarily related to elevator safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and emergency phone systems, with penalties reaching $2,500 for these infractions. The building experienced a plumbing issue in 2018 involving a defective cold water supply pipe in 4C, which was promptly addressed.

Between 2019 and 2021, the property faced numerous violations regarding energy benchmarking requirements, with eight separate citations for failure to file reports as mandated by NYC regulations, though all were ultimately dismissed following successful challenges. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since the earlier violations, with all subsequent filings from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. These records suggest that while there have been multiple safety and maintenance concerns over the years, particularly regarding elevator systems and energy reporting compliance, most recent records indicate improved reporting compliance and maintenance of basic requirements.
