6901 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, four-unit building at 6901 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Tim Ziss and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, particularly regarding rodent problems and regulatory compliance. Of particular concern are multiple open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024 that remain unresolved as of April 2024.

The building has also faced persistent rodent-related challenges, with rat sightings documented in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, leading to inspection responses including bait application in 2022. While some rodent inspections showed compliance, the regularity of reports suggests an ongoing issue. Recent developments include active violations for failing to file the required External Low-Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

The building's safety and maintenance history shows attempted compliance with various local laws, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances, including recent permits issued in 2023 and 2024. Several recent Department of Buildings complaints regarding sidewalk sheds and adjacent buildings have been closed without recorded violations, and inspections related to these complaints generally found no issues at the time of inspection. While the building shows ongoing efforts to address maintenance requirements through permit applications and inspections, the open violations for bedbug reporting and pressure system inspections indicate areas requiring attention from a regulatory compliance perspective.
