6802 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story New Law tenement building at 6802 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Frank Pellicane, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Most recently, in February 2025, there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

In terms of general maintenance and compliance, the building has faced consistent requirements regarding bedbug reporting; from 2021 through 2024, multiple violations were issued (April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under § HMC, though the official reports from 2021-2024 indicate no actual bedbug infestations occurred during the reporting periods, with all units showing zero infested or eradicated units. Looking at the building's more recent regulatory compliance, there is an active violation as of September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection.

Despite this violation, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through mid-2024 show consistent compliance in terms of reporting (with all filings showing zero infestation cases), even though violations were issued for late filing in 2021-2024. The pattern of heating system complaints and bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance, particularly in the area of prompt reporting and record-keeping, though the actual living conditions appear to have been stable in terms of bedbug presence during the reported periods.
