6118 23rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 6118 23rd Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Maria Rotondi, has experienced significant heating system challenges throughout 2023, with multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints filed between January and May 2023. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to four separate incidents, three of which were reported as affecting the entire building, while one complaint concerned a single apartment.

The building does have an open Class A violation as of April 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which follows a pattern of similar violations recorded between 2021-2023. However, the bedbug reporting data for the filing periods of 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 indicate no infestation issues, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.

In May 2023, HPD issued two Class C violations that were subsequently closed, which required the replacement or repair of defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and the first-story vestibule. These safety-related violations, along with the historical heating system issues, suggest infrastructure challenges within this nearly century-old building (constructed in 1927). The property has also experienced multiple instances (2021-2023) of non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though these violations were closed once addressed.
