1776 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

1776 West 6th Street is a 6-story, 59-unit residential building located in Gravesend and constructed in 1930, currently owned by Salvatore Parlanti. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly noticeable in the past 18 months with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2023-2024, affecting both entire building and individual apartments, though most were resolved with system restoration.

More concerning are ongoing maintenance issues highlighted by several active violations as of October 2024, including encumbrances of public hallways on multiple floors (household items, construction materials, and bicycles), and a problem with a self-closing fire door on the second story. The building's elevator system has also been a point of concern, with multiple complaints between 2024-2025 regarding single-device operation and no alternate service, resulting in violations and a monetary penalty for related defects including inoperative emergency lighting and misaligned cab mirror. The property has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues extending back several years, including past boiler problems in 2020 with defective/inoperative equipment that received violations, and multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024.

Building inspections have revealed problems with obstructed exit passageways and stored items on fire escapes, though these violations were eventually resolved. While there have been instances of bedbug infestations recorded between 2018 and 2024, these appear to have been addressed promptly, with no reported ongoing infestations in the most recent inspections. A rodent inspection in 2014 showed non-compliance, though more recent data does not indicate continuing issues in this regard.
