6612 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 11-unit, 3-story residential building at 6612 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Ramo Selimaj, is a 1920 New Law Tenement structure that has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple building-wide heat/hot water outages reported between 2021 and 2023, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2023 that required HPD intervention. The building also faced several safety concerns in 2022, including broken/missing window guards, fire escape issues, and problems with doors that resulted in emergency work orders.

A significant fire incident occurred in July 2021 affecting an apartment on the 3rd story. Other maintenance issues have included appliance problems, water leaks, and various interior maintenance needs, though most of these received inspection attention without resulting violations. The building's maintenance history shows some regulatory compliance, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 showing no infestations or eradication efforts required.

Violations from 2021-2022 included issues with self-closing doors, roof decking, and an inadequate gas supply to a range in Apartment 8, as well as fire safety concerns in Apartment 3. However, many of these violations have been marked as closed following proper certifications. The building's heat/hot water system remains a recurring concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed and requiring HPD involvement, though resolution appears to have been achieved in most cases, with instructions to refile if problems persisted.
