1663 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 10-unit, 6-story residential building at 1663 West 6th Street in Gravesend, owned by Mark Rabinovich and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2023 and early 2024, the property had a substantial water leak problem classified as an emergency by the Housing Maintenance Code, which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development that were only resolved in March 2024.

The building's elevator system has also presented ongoing concerns, with active violations dating back to 2019 related to failure to correct defects identified during a 2017 inspection, as well as non-compliance with required Category 5 inspections. The Department of Buildings records show two resolved violations from 2020 and 2021, though specifics are not provided in the documentation.

More recently, in 2024, there was a complaint regarding an illegal curb cut or driveway installation, though this was investigated in January 2025 and found to have no warrant for violation. While some historical violations have been properly addressed, the persistent elevator maintenance issues over multiple years and the recent water leak concerns indicate potential challenges with building maintenance systems, though it should be noted that these issues were eventually addressed through official channels.
