6917 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 6917 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Carmelo Re, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced recurring heating systems issues over the past several years. Most notably, there were heating complaints reported for both the entire building in November 2022 (which was inspected with no violations found) and for a specific apartment in December 2018 (where inspectors were unable to gain access).

The building has undergone several housing maintenance code inspections, revealing multiple safety-related violations that were subsequently addressed. These included requirements to post carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector notices, as well as gas leak emergency procedures, all of which were properly certified as corrected by November 2022. The property has a consistent record of timely bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the past four years according to the most recent filings from 2024 through 2021.

Four separate annual bedbug reports were filed during this period, confirming zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's owner has maintained compliance with various safety notice requirements, including a 2022 violation related to posting housing information guides, which was resolved by the end of November 2022. While the heating system issues represent a recurring concern, it's worth noting that the most recent heating complaint resulted in no violations and that other safety-related citations have been promptly addressed.
