The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 6012 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Mahendrasinh Sindha and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The building faced multiple heating system failures, with emergency heat and hot water complaints recorded in December 2019 and most recently in 2018, indicating ongoing problems with building-wide heating system reliability.

A notable cluster of complaints in September 2019 documented various issues including water leaks with heavy flow, multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold, and problems with interior paint and plaster. More recent violations from 2022 and 2023 included a sewage system compliance issue that resulted in a $625 penalty, and the building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance in 2023, showing no infestations during the previous two reporting periods.

The property has also experienced some concerning safety-related violations, including open violations from 2019 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements in apartment 2R, missing safety notices in common areas, and self-closing door issues at the main entrance. An investigation in August 2022 revealed non-compliant sewage ejector pump installation in the cellar area, while the building's gas system received attention in 2022 with an Oath violation served. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing initial rat activity in August 2022, though a compliance inspection in October 2022 passed.
