1951 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 1951 West 6th Street in Gravesend, owned by Sion Palacci, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in July 2024, there were multiple emergency safety concerns related to window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors - all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued.

These recent safety-related complaints, occurring simultaneously within the same week, indicate a potentially systemic issue with safety equipment maintenance. Prior to these recent incidents, the building had a cluster of maintenance requests in June 2020 regarding non-emergency issues with a refrigerator, flooring, and window/frame conditions.

However, in this case, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, and the complaints were ultimately closed in April 2021, suggesting these issues may not have been adequately addressed. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1925), the recurring nature of both safety-related and general maintenance complaints over the past five years warrants attention to the building's overall maintenance practices and response to tenant concerns.
