1634 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1634 West 6th Street in Gravesend, built in 1928 and currently owned by Weiyun Liao, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning was a heat and hot water complaint in February 2024, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not investigate due to lack of access to units.

Earlier that same month, multiple violations were documented regarding the building's access doors, including defective self-closing mechanisms and unauthorized door stops on both the front entrance and vestibule doors, though these were certified as resolved by February 20, 2024. The building has a recurring requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with violations noted in both 2021 and 2022 for failure to submit reports by the deadline, though the most recent reports from December 2022 and July 2021 show no documented infestation issues during their respective reporting periods.

Additional context includes a Department of Buildings complaint from November 2021 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this was investigated the same day and found to warrant no violation. While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2022 shows no actual infestations (all reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units), the repeated violations regarding reporting requirements suggest some administrative oversight issues. The most recent documented violations are from early 2024, indicating that while some issues have been addressed promptly (such as the door-related violations), other concerns like the heat/hot water complaint remain problematic.
