1956 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 1956 West 6th Street in Gravesend, owned by Yun Zheng, has experienced a series of concerning incidents over the past two years, particularly related to unauthorized modifications and safety compliance. Most notably, since late November 2024, the building has been subject to two active complaints regarding illegal conversion and SRO (Single Room Occupancy) issues involving unauthorized work, with inspectors unable to gain access during initial attempts in January 2025.

Earlier in 2024, there was a significant violation issued for work contrary to a stop work order, specifically on February 1, 2024, followed by an incident involving site conditions that endangered workers, though this stop work order was fully rescinded by May 2024. Despite these troubling construction and safety compliance issues, the building's recent bedbug report for the period from November 2023 to October 2024 is relatively positive, showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units.

The two-story, three-unit structure, built in 1925, has been classified as a two-family house, though current allegations suggest potential unauthorized alterations to its original configuration. While the bedbug reporting period shows no pest-related violations, the multiple active and recently closed complaints regarding unauthorized work and safety concerns represent the most significant issues affecting resident safety and building compliance.
