6507 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit building at 6507 14th Avenue in Bensonhurst, currently owned by Lilan Wu, was constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently documented in October 2024 when HPD was denied access to inspect the entire building's heat/hot water complaint, which was classified as an emergency. Between 2019 and 2023, there were several other maintenance issues, including an indoor air quality complaint related to construction dust in March 2019, and a ceiling paint/plaster issue in March 2019, both of which were closed due to inspection access problems.

The building's recent history shows multiple concerns regarding unauthorized modifications, with several illegal conversion complaints filed between 2022 and 2024. Most of these investigations failed to gain access for inspection, indicating potential challenges in verifying building conditions. There is a record of construction-related violations from 2019-2020, including work without permits that resulted in fines.

While there were bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, all annual filings indicated zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. The building has maintained an active bedbug report status as of 2024, with no documented infestations in the past three reporting periods. The property has also demonstrated compliance with Local Law 188/17 requirements, as confirmed by a March 2023 inspection showing no violations.
