6810 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-family building at 6810 New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Herb Neuman, has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems. Most notably, the property experienced multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between late 2018 and December 2019, with emergency complaints recorded and subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

More recently, the building has faced several regulatory challenges, with active violations documented between 2022 and 2024 for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, in 2022, the building sustained structural damage requiring attention following firefighting operations at the adjacent property (6808 New Utrecht Avenue), which resulted in removed windows and holes in walls and ceilings. A historical rodent inspection from 2011 also recorded a failure for "Other Reasons," indicating past pest control issues.

The building's most recent concerns center around regulatory compliance and safety requirements, with multiple open violations as of September 2024 for not submitting mandatory external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023. The property has maintained stability since the 2018-2019 heating issues, and no recent 311 complaints or building violations have been recorded regarding basic services or systems. However, the pattern of violations regarding external low-pressure inspections suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, while the structural damage observed in 2022 following exterior events indicates potential past concerns with building envelope integrity.
