1351 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 1351 West 6th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Vyacheslav Khaimov and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable safety and compliance issues in recent years.

Most concerning are the 2022 complaints regarding non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which were reported to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in August 2022 but could not be inspected before being closed in October 2022 due to access issues. More recently, the building has been cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports for multiple consecutive years, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though these violations fall under Class A, which generally indicates less immediate threat to safety and habitability than Class B violations.

Additionally, there was a complaint in May 2023 regarding work without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification on two separate attempts, leading to a closed status for that complaint. The combination of these health and safety concerns, particularly the delayed response to detector issues and the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, suggests potential gaps in building maintenance and resident safety oversight.
