6101 23rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 6101 23rd Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Maria Nania and constructed in 1927, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns involve ongoing heat and hot water system problems, with multiple emergency complaints in December 2024 indicating building-wide and apartment-specific failures. Apartment 3R, in particular, has multiple open violations as of December 2024, including issues with mold (both visible and related to water damage), roach infestations, and various repair needs such as defective floor tiles in the bathroom and kitchen.

There have also been concerns about building safety equipment, with open violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has a troubling history of plumbing and water-related issues in 2024, with multiple complaints about slow leaks, including one classified as a non-emergency in August 2024. Additional maintenance concerns emerged throughout 2024, including problems with paint and plaster in both walls and ceilings.

Structural concerns were raised in 2024 regarding building shaking and vibrations, with one such complaint resulting in an Oath violation. The building's exterior and common areas have issues as well, as evidenced by a 2024 Environmental Control Board violation noting problems with staircase safety and window deterioration, though this violation is currently listed as active. While the building had no recorded bedbug infestations between late 2020 and late 2021, the range and persistence of current maintenance issues suggest significant ongoing challenges in maintaining basic residential standards.
