1561 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The four-story, 16-unit tenement at 1561 West 6th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Antonina Parlanti, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a recurring problem with heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building during late 2018, with four separate complaints filed between December 3 and December 14, 2018, all of which were ultimately resolved. The building also faced sanitation issues in mid-2019, with a complaint about garbage and recycling storage prompting HPD violations that were inspected and closed in July 2019.

These violations included an open 2019 B-class violation regarding the provision of proper garbage receptacles, though the current status is not updated. In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a good record in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report (February 2025) showing no infestations for the period between November 2023 and October 2024. This follows a consistent pattern of no bedbug infestations in the previous three reporting periods (2022-2024).

However, the building received annual bedbug reporting violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these violations are marked as closed. The property has a history of meeting regulations, with the most recent inspection in 2024 appearing to show compliance, though the violation status was initially listed as open. The building's age (1928) and history of heating system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, but the absence of recent heat or pest problems indicates some improvement in building conditions over time.
