6008 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

6008 4th Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, owned by Lilan Wu and dating back to 1931. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns arising in late 2018 when multiple tenants reported heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. These emergency complaints were ultimately resolved, though HPD had difficulty accessing units for verification.

More recently, there has been considerable activity regarding potential unauthorized modifications to the property, with numerous complaints between 2024 and 2025 concerning work without permits and possible illegal conversions. Inspections for these complaints were challenging, with inspectors unable to gain access on multiple occasions. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of concerns, including a 2019 appliance issue with a refrigerator and multiple door/window problems, though these were all addressed and closed.

In 2023 and 2024, violations were recorded regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed. The property has maintained regular reporting showing zero documented bedbug infestations from 2019 to 2024. Rodent activity was noted in 2022 during an initial inspection, though this was not reported in subsequent compliance inspections. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent records indicate improvements in certain areas, though the active complaints regarding potential unauthorized work suggest ongoing compliance monitoring may be necessary.
