6600 3rd Street, located in Bayview Heights, is a 5-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2013, containing 73 units and currently owned by Third & Leconte Assocs Lp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most pressing being a fire incident in October 2023 that displaced eight residents, which is currently marked as active. In early 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks from the trash room down to the garage, affecting multiple floors, along with mold issues that appear to have been particularly problematic in Unit 302.

The building's fire safety systems have undergone various upgrades and maintenance, with the most recent being an emergency fire alarm control panel replacement completed in 2023 at a cost of $78,761. Historical records show multiple unit renovations in 2014 involving drywall replacement, insulation work, and electrical improvements in Units 209, 309, and 409, as well as a complete building-wide sprinkler system installation in 2013. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, particularly relating to water damage and mold, as evidenced by complaints stretching from 2019 through 2023.

There have been recurring issues with the building's heating system, plumbing fixtures, and bathroom facilities, as well as some concerning incidents involving hoarding and pest problems in 2022. Fire safety has been an ongoing concern, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2018 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, sleeping area requirements, and extinguisher maintenance. The building's elevator system has experienced several incidents requiring fire department response for occupant removal, though fortunately none resulted in injuries. While the building underwent substantial initial investment in safety features during construction, including fire dampers, evacuation signs, and a comprehensive fire alarm system, these systems have required ongoing maintenance and attention, as evidenced by recent violations and work permits.
