399 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

399 6th Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1923 in Park Slope, currently owned by Michael Papir. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in early 2025 regarding paint/plaster issues in multiple units. While these complaints were investigated by HPD, the conditions were found not to violate housing laws, though one complaint from February 2025 did result in violations.

The property has shown some recurring issues with building systems, particularly heat and hot water, as evidenced by multiple complaints in February 2024, with violations indicating problems with hot water provision affecting at least one unit (Apartment 2B). The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including an unsanitary condition involving pests in late 2024, though an inspector was unable to gain access for full evaluation. The property has demonstrated active management of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, and has passed all recent rodent inspections, including one in June 2023.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from February 2024 identified several areas needing attention, including plaster and paint repairs, lighting improvements, and issues with the heating system access. Most of these violations were certified as corrected by March 2024, though one related to heating system access remains marked as open. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing most complaints and violations, with many issues being resolved through official inspections and corrections. While some problems have recurred, particularly regarding wall conditions and heating systems, the overall pattern suggests ongoing efforts to maintain compliance with housing regulations.
