6817 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 6817 6th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Tao Ngong Lam, was constructed in 1928 and has recently experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues. The property has documented safety violations from 2019, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, some of which were resolved through subsequent inspections.

A cluster of violations was particularly concentrated in apartment 3R, where issues were identified with door security systems, door self-closing mechanisms, smoke detector functionality, and window guard compliance. The building also had violations related to inadequate lighting in public hallways and peeling paint in common areas. More recent records show improved compliance regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2022-2025, indicating successful maintenance practices in this regard.

A recent Department of Buildings inspection from February 2025 regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway complaint found no violations. As of the most recent data available in 2023, the building's violation history shows a combination of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly concerning safety systems such as fire detection and window safety features. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since its implementation, consistently reporting zero infestations.
