6821 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit building at 6821 6th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Murad Hamdan, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. The property has current open violations from October 2023 related to maintenance and safety, including roof leaks, mold (approximately 15 square feet) in the third-story public hall, and a broken door issue at the first-story entrance. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2023, including a significant issue affecting the entire building in October 2023 that resulted in HPD violations.

During June 2024, multiple emergency violations were documented, including problems with door hardware, carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape safety, smoke detectors, and water supply issues. The building also has historical plumbing-related issues, with complaints about steam pipes and radiator problems recorded in 2023 and 2021. The property has shown consistent attention to pest management, as evidenced by six consecutive years of bedbug reporting from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infestations.

Additional maintenance history includes various inspections and repairs between 2021 and 2023 related to window frames, unsanitary conditions, and the building's plumbing system. While there were some egress-related complaints in 2020-2021, inspections did not warrant any violations. Recent findings from October 2023 inspections noted various open violations requiring attention, including the need for proper signage regarding gas leak procedures and housing information, as well as issues with the boiler room door access. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with heating systems and water infrastructure, while other systems such as pest management appear to be under control.
