238 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, four-unit building at 238 6th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Edward Baum, has experienced several plumbing-related issues in the most recent year, particularly concerning basin/sink problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2023, most recently in September 2023. While some of these complaints have been resolved with HPD verification of corrections, others were closed without HPD access for inspection, which may be of concern regarding access to address ongoing maintenance issues.

The building has faced consistent plumbing problems, with six separate complaints between May and September 2023 alone, though a May 2023 inspection found no violations. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in June 2024 showing no bedbug infestations during the reporting period, following a pattern of zero infestations reported in previous years (2021 and earlier).

However, violations were issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have been resolved as evidenced by the subsequent correct filings showing no infestations. A rodent inspection in January 2018 resulted in a passing score, indicating no rodent issues at that time. The building, constructed in 1930, shows a consistent pattern of plumbing maintenance challenges over the past year, while successfully addressing pest control requirements through proper reporting and showing zero infestations.
