6920 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 4-unit, 3-story building at 6920 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Barbara Hormann, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in April 2025, complaints were filed regarding mold and bathtub/shower plumbing issues, with the mold complaint being classified as an emergency. A significant number of violations are currently open, including three related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, and two concerning obstructed fire escape egress due to plants and household items (2021).
The building has an active ECB violation from July 2023 regarding multiple holes in interior sheetrock throughout common areas, and another for maintaining obstructed exit passageways. Several 311 complaints were logged in 2021, including issues with pests, broken window guards, and various plumbing problems - all of which were inspected but no violations were issued. The property has shown non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2024, and there was a notable complaint in 2021 regarding household items blocking fire escape egress from balconies.
The building's inspection history shows a pattern of plumbing issues, flooring problems, and safety concerns, particularly relating to fire escape access. All complaints, while requiring attention, were ultimately closed, though many resulted in open violations requiring further action. There appears to be a consistent challenge with maintaining fire safety through proper egress management and regular maintenance of building systems. Since 2023, there has been an ongoing issue regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports and multiple violations related to low-pressure inspection filings, indicating potential systematic maintenance oversight.
