7916 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The six-unit, three-story "New Law Tenement" at 7916 6th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Stella Theodorakis since its 1931 construction, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Two significant water-related incidents were reported in April 2022 - one concerning heavy water flow and another related to roofing - though both were subsequently closed without violations being issued.

The building has faced persistent rodent control challenges, with rat sightings reported in both May and September 2021, though a February 2022 compliance inspection resulted in passing conditions. More recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have revealed outstanding violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the building's annual filings showing no evidence of infestation between 2018 and 2021. The property has undergone various safety-related inspections and improvements, particularly in 2022, when multiple violations were recorded and addressed.

These included requirements for self-closing doors in public areas and specific apartment units, as well as compliance matters regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, and posting regulatory notices in the building's common areas. Notably, the building has maintained an active response to inspection findings, with many violations being corrected and closed, though some remain open as of the most recent inspections in 2023-2024. Regular rodent inspections in early 2022 showed initial rat activity followed by compliance, suggesting improvements in pest management protocols.
