6302 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 22-unit, 4-story tenement building at 6302 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, built in 1915 and currently owned by Jacqueline Arroyo, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has recorded multiple heat and hot water failures, with complaints in February, March, and May 2025. There were also significant plumbing problems reported in May 2025, including issues with sinks, bathtubs/showers, window frames, and heavy water leaks, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

The building is currently facing open Housing Maintenance Code violations from an October 2024 inspection of apartment C2, noting various issues including defective plaster surfaces, problematic window balances, electrical wiring concerns, and multiple maintenance needs related to walls, ceilings, windows, and doors. The property has a concerning history of infrastructure and safety issues, including an active gas utility referral from June 2025 and a violation regarding lack of required egresses from December 2024 with a penalty of $2,530. Past concerns include an active violation from 2024 for failure to correct immediately hazardous conditions, a November 2019 violation for failure to file annual boiler inspection reports, and historical rat activity as recently as 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows frequent 311 service requests and responses, with several cases where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. While the bedbug reports for the last five years show no infestations, the most recent rodent inspection results have been mixed, with both passed and failed inspections noted between 2011 and 2024. The property has had multiple permits issued in 2024 and 2025 for various types of work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repairs are being conducted.
