515 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

515 6th Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 331 Holdings LLC. The property has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants between April 8 and April 13, 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These heating system problems appear to be part of an ongoing pattern, as similar complaints were documented in late 2024, along with violations related to inadequate heat supply and hot water temperature issues specifically in Apartment 1R. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, including active rodent investigations in 2022 and 2024 showing rat activity, and an infestation of mice documented in late 2024 in Apartment 1R, though this violation was subsequently closed. The Department of Buildings records reveal various infrastructure concerns, including a 2024 inspection citing locked basement doors preventing access to the heating system, and maintenance issues such as malfunctioning self-closing doors in both the boiler room and ground floor areas.

While there have been several emergency service requests related to heating and plumbing systems, and pest control violations, some complaints were closed without finding violations, including a 2023 complaint regarding egress concerns. Notably, the building's history shows regular rodent baiting treatments throughout 2024, indicating an ongoing pest management program. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations between 2021 and 2025, with no reported cases in the past four years.
