288 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

288 6th Street is a 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, containing 19 units and built in 1929, currently owned by Arik Lifshitz. The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues over the past few years, with multiple emergencies recorded between October 2021 and April 2022. These incidents primarily involved heat and hot water outages affecting individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections often found conditions had been corrected, with no violations typically issued.

The building faced several maintenance challenges in 2021, particularly in Apartment 3B, which had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations including issues with pests (specifically roaches), plumbing fixtures, and door problems. Two significant violations were recorded in late 2021-early 2022 regarding self-closing doors and encumbrances in public halls, both of which were certified as corrected. The building underwent some scrutiny in 2019 regarding construction-related complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issues.

More recent records indicate improved conditions, as the building has maintained a clean track record with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and recent rodent inspections in 2022-2023 showed either passed results or bait applications, suggesting active management of pest control measures. The Department of Buildings records show one ECB violation in 2021 regarding the construction superintendent's log, which was resolved with no penalty imposed. As of the latest inspection period (2023-2024), the bedbug reports show zero infested units, and there have been no significant new violations or complaints of note, suggesting improved maintenance conditions compared to the previous years.
