6916 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, two-unit building at 6916 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Dennis Lin, has experienced several significant events since 2019. Most notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with four consecutive annual filings (2021-2024) showing no infested units and three units requiring eradication each year. In 2019, there was a mold-related complaint that resulted in an HPD inspection, though no violations were found.

The building has had three annual violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, showing a need for improved documentation compliance. The 2019 inspection revealed multiple safety-related violations that were subsequently addressed, including requirements for smoke detector notices, carbon monoxide detector notices, and gas leak procedures in common areas. An open violation from that inspection concerns the self-closing mechanism on the entrance door to apartment 3R.

The building experienced a period of controversy in 2021-2022, when there were multiple complaints and violations related to unauthorized use of the first-floor space as an adult establishment/physical culture facility (58 Beauty Inc.), resulting in three resolved ECB violations with penalties totaling $3,185. Current bedbug reporting filings (2024-2025) indicate continued attention to pest management, with records showing eradication efforts but no new infestations. The most recent permit on file, issued in December 2019, was for unspecified work under job number 322017884. The building's overall record shows a pattern of addressing violations and maintaining regulatory compliance, though there have been periodic lapses that require attention.
