6301 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, 11-unit tenement building at 6301 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Betty Dapias and constructed in 1915, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding safety equipment in Apartment 3C, including defective smoke detectors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and reports of pest infestations (mice and roaches) that require abatement under HMC regulations.

The building has also received emergency complaints in October 2024 related to heat/hot water issues and flooring conditions, though violations were only documented for the heat/hot water problem. The property is currently facing compliance challenges with multiple open violations regarding safety and maintenance, including issues with a double cylinder lock at the rear yard door, self-closing doors, and access to the heating system. There is also an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding the failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with a penalty of $655.

Additionally, the building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failing to file external low-pressure boiler inspections between 2018-2023. While there have been previous pest-related issues and various maintenance complaints in the past, including reports of mold and water leaks in 2023, many of these cases were closed without violations being issued. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations from late 2017 through late 2020, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested during these periods.
