244 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit building at 244 6th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Caitlin Wiesen, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most concerning are two recent water leak incidents reported in July 2023, one described as having heavy flow and another as a slow leak, both of which were addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has also faced plumbing-related challenges, including a 2022 Department of Buildings inspection that revealed newly installed gas lines and fittings for a gas dryer, which led to multiple violations and a $625 penalty that was later resolved. The property's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, and it passed a rodent inspection in 2018. Earlier records indicate a pattern of plumbing-related concerns, with the 2022 gas line violations being substantial enough to warrant immediate correction orders.

The building's management has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, as evidenced by the closure of both the 2023 water leak complaints and the 2022 gas line violations. The property has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in all reporting periods since 2019, and has successfully passed routine inspections required by the New York City Housing Maintenance Code. While the recent water leak issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with plumbing infrastructure, the building's overall violation history shows that management typically responds to and resolves issues as they arise, though some violations in 2022 required multiple follow-up actions to fully address.
