6320 11th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 5-unit, 3-story tenement building at 6320 11th Avenue in Borough Park, built in 1931 and currently owned by Sum Tung Cheng, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. In early 2020, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including pest infestations and plumbing problems involving steam pipes and sewage, though none of these incidents resulted in formal violations.

More recently, the building has had two consecutive violations in 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and in 2022 there was one major violation concerning broken plaster and paint work in the first-story vestibule. The property has shown some safety concerns, particularly in 2022, with violations regarding an illegally installed self-locking pushbar on the north exit door of the public hall stair bulkhead, which created egress issues. Other violations from 2022 included the need to address fire escape obstruction due to flower pots on the second-story balcony, and the requirement to post gas leak procedures in a common area.

However, it's worth noting that the building passed a rodent inspection in December 2023, indicating some improvement in maintenance standards. The building's most recent bedbug report for the 2020-2021 period indicated no infestations, though the subsequent 2021-2022 report was submitted with no affected units reported. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, the property has shown responsiveness to some violations, evidenced by multiple certifications of correction in 2022 and 2024.
