6501 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, three-unit building at 6501 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Danny Tan and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over the past years. Most recently, the building has faced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Between 2018 and 2022, multiple complaints were filed concerning electrical wiring concerns, including defective/exposed wiring issues, with several resulting in Oath Violations and two Environmental Control Board violations in late 2018 related to unapproved unsafe electrical equipment and extension cord usage, carrying penalties of $1,600 and $2,500 respectively. During 2022, there were additional complaints about construction work without permits and work beyond approved plans, though inspections found insufficient evidence to warrant violations.

The building's permit records indicate several electrical work permits were issued in 2018, suggesting some attempt to address the electrical system concerns that had been documented. While the property has had numerous violations, it's worth noting that the majority of them have been resolved or closed, and recent inspections have primarily focused on administrative compliance matters rather than immediate safety concerns.
