6913 11th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 6913 11th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by John Cirmia, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. In early 2024, the building underwent an inspection that revealed multiple safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety and egress. These included violations involving self-closing doors and defective hinges at both the bulkhead in the public hall on the third story, as well as the entrance to apartment 3F.

The inspection also found problems with slide bolts capable of padlocking the bulkhead door, and obstructions such as construction materials at stairs to the bulkhead, though these violations were certified as closed by January 2024. A significant fire safety concern was noted with bushes obstructing the secondary egress at the fire escape. The building has had consistent issues with compliance reporting, notably missing the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection filing and the 2017 Annual Boiler Inspection report, though both violations were ultimately dismissed.

Annual bedbug reporting compliance has shown improvement, with the most recent filing in December 2023 indicating no infestation cases during the previous reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023). The property has also dealt with a complaint regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway/carport, though this was determined to have no violation warrant when inspected in August 2023. While many of the recent violations have been addressed, the pattern of fire safety and egress concerns, particularly those identified in 2024, suggests ongoing attention to safety infrastructure is required.
