8001 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, nine-unit apartment building at 8001 6th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Adolfo Osso and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in 2022. The building faced multiple housing maintenance complaints in March 2022, with residents reporting problems with heat/hot water, various appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), walls requiring paint/plaster work, cabinet issues, and pest problems, though inspections during this period revealed that HPD could not gain access to the apartments to verify these complaints. In July 2022, door/window issues were reported and investigated, with violations issued related to paint/plaster conditions.

The building has had various maintenance violations that have been addressed over time, including a 2022 infestation of mice in apartment 2B, though records indicate ongoing compliance efforts. All bedbug reports from 2020 through the present show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. Inspection records from the past three years show several requests for repairs, including a 2018 incident involving defective glass panes at the front entrance door and concerns about self-closing doors in apartment 1C.

Three complaints were made to the Department of Buildings regarding the property between 2018 and 2022, including a boiler issue in late 2022, illegal hotel room concerns in 2019, and electrical wiring problems in 2018, though all were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection. Most recently, the bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestation issues, and previous filings from 2022 and 2024 also indicate no such problems during those periods. The building's record shows regular maintenance needs typical of older structures, with the majority of issues being addressed through proper channels, though access difficulties during inspections in 2022 limited the ability to verify certain complaints at the time.
