6605 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 6605 14th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Hui Feng, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, in late 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water-related complaints, with violations issued in December 2024. The building has also faced electrical issues, including a lighting outage in May 2025.

A significant cluster of complaints in December 2024 affected apartment 2F, where violations were issued for pest infestation (roaches), mold around the bathtub caulking, and missing safety devices including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This apartment also had issues with gas supply to the kitchen range and multiple heat-related violations. The property has a concerning history of illegal apartment conversion allegations, with multiple complaints between 2019-2023, though inspections during these periods often resulted in "Unable to Gain Access" outcomes.

In December 2022, three Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding inadequate means of egress and unauthorized alterations creating an additional unit, resulting in penalties totaling $5,250. While the building has demonstrated some improvements since early 2025, as evidenced by the absence of recent bedbug reports and the resolution of some violations, several issues remain open as of October 2023, including a broken entrance door lock identified in December 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system problems, electrical issues, and pest control challenges, though many recent 311 complaints have been closed without violations being found during inspections.
