6924 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The four-unit, two-story tenement at 6924 21st Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Harihar Patel, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in April 2023. During this period, three emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical problems, heating issues, and wall maintenance, though inspections conducted on April 6, 2023, found no violations in these matters. More concerning were several violations identified during the same inspection, primarily affecting first-floor apartment F1, including defective self-closing doors, faulty faucets in the bathroom, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations, categorized as Class B and C, were officially certified for correction by April 15, 2023. The building's maintenance history shows some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (March 2024) indicating zero infested units during the previous reporting periods. Of note is a complaint filed in April 2023 regarding plumbing work without proper permits, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt to verify the complaint in June 2023.

Looking at the bigger picture, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2024 shows no infestations recorded, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the April 2023 violations indicated multiple maintenance issues, there is no record of any accidents or safety incidents related to these problems, and most violations appear to have been promptly addressed through official certification processes. The building was constructed in 1925 and follows the New Law Tenement classification, which may include specific regulation requirements regarding building safety and maintenance standards.
