1318 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1318 West 6th Street, a 39-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and owned by I Gemelli Estates Inc., currently faces several significant health and safety issues that merit attention. As of July 2025, the building has open violations in Apartment C10 related to essential safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as ongoing pest infestations that require abatement. Recent inspections from July 2024 identified multiple maintenance issues in C10, including mold, defective plastered surfaces, and painting concerns.

The building's history also reveals recurring safety concerns from 2019-2020 regarding egress obstruction, with violations related to blocked fire escapes and unstable stairs that resulted in substantial fines, some of which remain unpaid as active violations. The property has had multiple complaints and violations regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, with the most recent cluster of issues documented in June 2024. While some violations have been resolved, including those from 2019-2020 regarding exit passageways, several remain open as of July 2025.

Notable recent complaints from June 2024 involved issues with walls, plumbing, appliances, cabinets, and electrical systems, though most of these inspections did not result in violations. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2022 passed, suggesting some efforts to address pest control, though subsequent complaints indicate this remains an ongoing issue. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed compliance with safety requirements, particularly regarding fire safety equipment and structural maintenance, which could impact resident safety and comfort.
