571 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 571 6th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Herbert Segarra, has a documented history dating back to its 1931 construction. The most significant recent issues involve recurring non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements; the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with all violations currently listed as open.

These open violations span approximately three years, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with this specific requirement. The building experienced a heating and hot water issue in November 2019, which was initially classified as an emergency and prompted responses from both HPD and the Housing Maintenance Code system; while the services were reportedly restored according to tenant communication, the incident affected multiple units and also coincided with a water supply problem, indicating potential infrastructure concerns.

While there are no recorded housing maintenance issues from 2020 to the present beyond the bedbug report violations, and no additional heat or hot water complaints since 2019, the building's history does show evidence of previous rodent control measures, with bait applied during a 2010 inspection. The structure's total of five documented violations since 2021, all related to the same issue, indicates a specific area of regulatory non-compliance by the current ownership, though it's worth noting that the building's age and size naturally incur some maintenance and compliance requirements.
