6123 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This four-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building at 6123 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Kim Cheung and constructed in 1912, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with emergency complaints filed in November 2021 and February 2020, though inspections often encountered access issues or resulted in no violations being found.

The building has also faced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks in 2019-2020, including heavy flow incidents and damp spots, some of which resulted in violations. More recent concerns involve an active bedbug report violation from 2021-2024 requiring annual reporting compliance, and multiple DOB violations (2023) related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections.

The building's systems have shown periods of systemic issues, particularly in 2021 when multiple tenants reported problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, resulting in violations. Additional concerns have been documented regarding apartment 4B, including violations from September 2020 related to peeling paint surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, lack of carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs in both the apartment and public areas. While many complaints have been resolved, through inspections or closure, the presence of multiple active violations as of 2023-2024 indicates ongoing compliance issues that have potential impacts on resident safety and comfort.
