2169 West 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 2169 West 6th Street property, owned by Zaiyou Zhu, is a three-story, two-family house built in 1930 located in the Gravesend neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water crisis that emerged in October 2024, which prompted an HPD inspection that confirmed inadequate hot water despite access issues in some units.

This violation remains open and affects at least one apartment (2F). The building has also faced structural concerns in late 2022, with multiple complaints regarding vibrations and structural stability, leading to Environmental Control Board violations for failure to submit an required engineer's report, with penalties totaling $15,750. The property's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were documented, including water leaks affecting both bathroom and ceiling areas in apartment 2, as well as issues with carbon monoxide detection devices, various plumbing problems, and damage to paint/plaster ceilings.

More recently, in March 2018 through 2019, there were plumbing issues related to basins/sinks that required attention. The building also has open violations as of October 2024 concerning inadequate lighting in the first-story public hall and the presence of bicycle encumbrances in a second-story public hall. These persistent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, though it's worth noting that many previous violations have been resolved through inspections and repairs.
