6913 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 4-story, 18-unit residential building at 6913 15th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Wenbin Zou, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several notable events throughout its relatively brief history. Most recently, in April 2023, the building received a housing maintenance code violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this was subsequently resolved.

The building underwent significant construction in 2019-2021, during which multiple safety and compliance issues were documented, including three instances of "Failure to Maintain" penalties in early 2021, and several environmental control board violations related to construction safety, pedestrian protection, and inadequate housekeeping. Specifically, in 2021, there were violations for failure to provide inspection access ($5,000 penalty), inadequate pedestrian protection ($2,400 penalty), and various other safety-related infractions totaling over $1,900 in penalties. The construction phase also saw multiple complaints regarding site conditions, including excessive debris, illegal after-hours work, and issues with worker training compliance.

The building's permit history shows proper documentation of various construction-related permits, including new building (NB), plumbing (PL), and exterior wall (EW) permits throughout 2019-2021. Since completion, the building has maintained a good record with no reported bedbug infestations in three consecutive annual reports (2022-2024), and passed a rodent inspection in October 2023. The most recent bedbug report filing from December 2024 indicates no current infestations, and the building has complied with all subsequent bedbug reporting requirements, suggesting improvements in maintenance practices since the initial violation in 2023.
