Augrented Insights Report for 285 6th Avenue

Located in Park Slope, the 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 285 6th Avenue, owned by Jakob Worley, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage in June 2025. The building, constructed in 1920, has documented several pressing concerns over recent years, including emergency complaints in 2023-2024 regarding safety issues such as broken window guards, non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and water-related problems including slow leaks and mold.

The property has faced ongoing challenges with pests, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and inspection records, and had significant electrical and safety violations in 2021 that were assigned penalties totaling $9,900. The Department of Buildings records reveal a pattern of safety and habitability concerns, including a 2023 violation for scaling building facade elements, and various fire safety-related issues such as non-compliant sprinkler system components and inadequate window guards. Multiple emergency heating system failures were documented in 2023 and 2025, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly when investigated.

The building has undergone various renovations as shown by multiple work permits issued in 2020-2022, though these improvements appear to have been accompanied by several compliance-related challenges. Recent bedbug reports for 2023-2025 indicate no infestations, and while there have been rodent activity concerns (most recently in early 2024), the building's overall pest management shows some improvement based on consecutive zero-infested unit reports in recent filings. The property's compliance history includes several dismissed violations, suggesting that while issues have been recurrent, many are addressed promptly through appropriate channels.
