175 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 175 6th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Rachel Caban, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2025, and previously in December 2021, complaints about heat and hot water problems were filed, though HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) was unable to gain access to inspect the units in any of these instances.

The building has also accumulated two Class A violations in April 2024 and April 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. Notably, bedbug reporting from 2020 through the present shows no infestation cases, with all records indicating zero infested units during the reporting periods. The building's general maintenance history shows some areas of concern, particularly regarding the heating system, which has generated three emergency complaints in 2021 and 2025.

While the building appears to have maintained a consistent record of bedbug management with no actual infestations reported, there were two compliance failures concerning bedbug reporting requirements. The rodent inspections from June and May 2010 were noted as failed for "Other Reasons," though more recent inspections have not been documented in the available records. The building, constructed in 1920, is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure and has been subject to standard maintenance regulatory requirements in New York City, with the most recent heating system complaints indicating an ongoing infrastructure challenge that may affect resident comfort.
