6316 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

6316 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 24-unit residential tenement building located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, built in 1915 and currently owned by Jacqueline Arroyo. The property has experienced significant heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between February and April 2025, including eight separate heat/hot water complaints in March and April 2025 alone, most of which were temporarily resolved by the time of HPD inspections.

The building also faced various maintenance challenges in 2024-2025, including plumbing radiator issues, electrical problems, and concerns with cabinets, which were addressed through HPD inspections and violations. The building has a documented history of environmental concerns, including a 2019 ECB violation regarding occupancy without a valid certificate of occupancy, which carries a $12,500 penalty and remains active. Apartment D6, on the fourth floor, was the subject of multiple violations in late 2024 related to water leaks, lead paint hazards, and various maintenance issues that were certified as corrected by January 2025.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pests, with no reported bedbug or rodent infestations in recent years; the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade, and bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show no units affected. Three previous complaints from 2018-2021 regarding illegal conversions and gas hook-up issues were closed without resolution due to inspectors' inability to gain access. While recent heating issues have been persistent, the building has shown responsiveness to violations, as demonstrated by the prompt certification of corrections following 2024 inspections.
