1837 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 1837 West 6th Street in Gravesend, owned by Julie Lam, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and rodent problems, dating back several years. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with six emergency complaints logged between late 2022 and early 2024.

Notably, there were three separate heating incidents in March-April 2024 alone, with at least one resulting in violations being issued during the HPD inspection. More recently, from December 2023 through May 2024, there has been a concerning pattern of rodent-related incidents, with eight separate complaints recorded, including multiple mouse sightings.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted several inspections during this period, issuing violations in some cases, though some complaints were closed due to prior complaints about the same location. The most recent rodent complaints, filed in May 2024, were closed when it was determined they were connected to earlier complaints, with inspection results accessible through the NYC Rat Portal. While some inspections resulted in findings of no violations, the frequency of both heating and rodent-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.
