6604 10th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

6604 10th Avenue is a three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Domenico Morreale. The property has faced several maintenance challenges in recent months, most notably a July 2024 inspection that identified multiple violations requiring attention. These included safety concerns such as missing or defective self-closing doors (both at the roof entrance and vestibule), broken ceiling light fixtures in the first-story public hall, and improper garbage/recycling storage.

More serious was the identification of a rodent infestation in the front south sections at the fire passageway, classified as a Class C violation that remains open as of August 2024. Other violations addressed during this inspection included the need for proper notice postings regarding gas leak procedures and housing information guides, as well as clearance of various encumbrances and obstructions in public areas, particularly on the third story and in fireproof passageways. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and regular monitoring demonstrating zero infested units in the past three reporting periods (2024-2023).

Previous complaints about the property include a sidewalk shed issue in September 2024 and a zoning complaint in February 2022, though both were inspected and found without warranted violations. Interestingly, a rodent inspection from July 2018 had resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that these pest management issues are relatively recent. The building has maintained compliance with various health and safety requirements, though the recent cluster of violations in July 2024 indicates an accumulation of maintenance needs that require ongoing monitoring and resolution.
