6605 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 6605 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Gary Pezzella, has had some notable incidents over recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water issues in early 2019. Between January 11 and February 1, 2019, the building experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued from these inspections.

The building, constructed in 1931 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has shown regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from May 2024 indicating no infested units during the previous reporting period. The building has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, with the most recent inspections in 2022 and 2023 noting an outstanding violation related to bedbug report filing requirements.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded during a June 2019 inspection, including issues with required safety notices and postings in the public hall areas regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and emergency contact information. While most of these violations were eventually closed, one related to the building's heating system key holder designation appears to have remained open. The building's entrance door self-closing mechanism issue, noted as a Class C violation in June 2019, was closed following correction.
