6901 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 8-unit, 4-story building at 6901 5th Avenue, Bay Ridge, owned by Vincent Theurer and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are current concerns regarding food safety at a nearby establishment (complaint filed June 2025), and an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of September 2023 regarding accumulated refuse in the front yard. Between 2022-2023, the building faced multiple violations related to fire safety, including multiple fire escape defects (such as issues with treads, handrails, and drop ladders), which were documented during a July 2022 inspection.
Additional concerns during this period included electrical problems, with documented complaints about lighting issues in both 2023 and 2022. The building has shown some challenges with pest management, particularly in 2023, with multiple rodent-related complaints (though inspections in 2023 all resulted in "Passed" outcomes). The property has maintained a generally active compliance history regarding pest management, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections in 2022-2023 all passing inspection, and bedbug reporting showing zero infested units from at least 2019 through 2025.
Earlier maintenance issues included plumbing concerns in 2019, specifically involving a bathtub/shower and sink. While the building's systems have experienced recurring electrical and fire safety concerns, more recent inspections suggest some improvement in overall building conditions. It's worth noting that several complaints, while filed, resulted in "No Violation Warranted" determinations upon inspection, indicating that not all reported issues were substantiated during official reviews.
