6824 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, four-unit building at 6824 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Sogioi Tang, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most pressing concerns occurred during 2019, when there were multiple reports of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, multiple cooking gas complaints, and an insect infestation problem (specifically roaches in Apartment 2F). These issues resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate gas supply and heating problems, although most were subsequently closed following inspections.

More recent concerns include three food poisoning incidents in 2020 and 2022, though these were determined to be isolated incidents by the Department of Health. The building has also faced various compliance and maintenance challenges, including a significant period in 2019-2020 involving plumbing issues, construction concerns, and multiple complaints about building systems and maintenance conditions. Two unresolved violations remain from 2019 regarding floor repairs and a bathroom tile issue in Apartment 2F, as well as a security concern related to an illegal lock on the building entrance door.

The property has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations in recent years, with all five annual Bedbug Reporting filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. Most recently, in 2024, there were complaints about construction work beyond approved plans and an illegal conversion, though inspections ultimately found no violations. The building currently has active permits issued in 2023 for construction work, indicating ongoing maintenance and repair efforts.
