6711 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11219

At 6711 Fort Hamilton Parkway in Dyker Heights, this 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building has experienced recurring heating-related issues throughout the 2023-2024 winter period, with eight documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems between September 2023 and January 2024. While each complaint was ultimately closed with reports of restored services, the frequency of these outages raises concerns about the reliability of the building's heating system. The building has also faced multiple maintenance violations, particularly regarding self-closing doors.

Between April and October 2023, violations were documented in apartments 1B, 5C, and D3, affected common areas, and entrance doors, with some classified as Class C violations indicating potential safety concerns. More recent inspections in 2023 revealed issues requiring attention to the fire-retardant plaster and painting requirements in the west wall of the third-story public hall. The building's historical records show compliance in recent months, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and passing initial rodent inspections in May 2023.

However, there were several unsuccessful inspection attempts in 2021 related to work without proper permits and plumbing concerns, though no violations were ultimately found. The property management has demonstrated responsiveness to many of the issues raised, as evidenced by the prompt closure of most service requests, though the recurring nature of the heating problems suggests a potential underlying system deficiency that requires ongoing attention. The building's age (constructed in 1922) and its classification as a New Law Tenement are important contextual factors, as these properties often present unique maintenance challenges due to their historical design and systems.
