6321 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

This two-family house at 6321 20th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Wing Shum, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The property had multiple housing maintenance complaints in 2022 alone, including heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, paint and plaster issues (both wall and ceiling) requiring attention, and unsanitary conditions involving mold. The building has persistent infrastructure challenges, with various complaints regarding water leaks, flooring issues, and heating system problems.

A significant inspection in December 2021 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 3, including issues with mold, heating system malfunctions, and pest infestations (roaches and mice), though some violations have since been closed. The building's history shows ongoing maintenance requirements, including a December 2021 inspection identifying various issues such as broken light switches, problematic radiators, and both water and pest-related concerns. Earlier complaints from 2019 regarding illegal activity and illegal conversion were marked as access denied upon attempts for inspection.

More recently, the property has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), suggesting improved pest management. The building has also undergone some permitted work, with an electrical/wiring permit issued in April 2019. While many recent complaints have been resolved, several violations remain open as of the last available data, particularly those related to Apartment 3's conditions and common area maintenance issues such as handrail security.
