6513 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

6513 20th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1931 and now classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property. The building is currently facing several compliance issues, most notably multiple active violations related to the failure to file annual Bedbug Reports from 2021 to 2024, and multiple unaddressed violations regarding the External Low-Pressure Inspection requirements from 2018 to 2021. These unfiled inspections are documented as active violations from June 2023.

The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In late 2024, there were two emergency heat and hot water complaints, one for the entire building and another for a single apartment, both of which were closed due to access issues during inspection. More recently, in March 2025, there was a rodent-related complaint, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection.

An earlier food poisoning complaint from February 2023 was deemed isolated by health officials. On a positive note, a follow-up rodent inspection conducted in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building's documented history shows persistent challenges with both heating systems and compliance with required inspections, though the management has addressed some resident complaints as demonstrated by the rodent inspection outcome.
