162 North 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
This 4-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building at 162 North 6th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Kenn Firpo, has undergone several significant events over recent years. Of particular concern are multiple violations related to boiler safety, with active penalties totaling $2,375 for failures to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports between 2019-2023.
The building has also faced issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in 2021-2024, though the most recent report from May 2024 indicates no current infestations. In late 2023, there were notable violations regarding lead paint hazard notifications and record-keeping requirements in Apartment 2, though these appear to have been resolved. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related incidents, including a broken window guard reported in November 2023 (no violations issued upon inspection), and several complaints about building systems and utilities.
Three housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2023 related to failure to file bedbug reports, and the building's gas system underwent significant attention in 2022 when an inspection revealed unauthorized gas usage throughout the building, leading to a penalty that has since been resolved. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections with varying results, including one for illegal activity in 2019 which resulted in a compliance inspection. Recent 311 complaints include a response to mobile food vendor smoke/odor in May 2024 and several environmental concerns, though most inspections resulted in no violations being warranted.
