31 1st Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

31 1st Place is a 5-unit, 4-story residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, built in 1900 and currently owned by Dan Connelly. The property has experienced several notable concerns over the past few years, particularly related to boiler inspections and maintenance compliance. Most significantly, there are four active violations as of June 2023 concerning failures to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2018-2021, which could impact building safety systems.

In 2018, the building was cited for defective boiler conditions including exposed wood in the boiler room and improper discharge pipe materials, along with a related Oath violation; although these issues were subsequently resolved. The building has undergone multiple Housing Maintenance Code inspections regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2024, suggesting some administrative compliance challenges, though the reports indicate zero infested units during the reporting periods from 2018 to 2022. The property has experienced relatively few maintenance issues affecting resident quality of life.

A mosquito complaint was reported in August 2021, which was addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A recent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in March 2024 found no violations, indicating some current adherence to local building regulations. Bedbug reporting has been consistently submitted since 2019, showing proactive monitoring of this pest concern, though the building has maintained a record of zero confirmed infestations during the reporting periods. Historical records also show a boiler-related complaint in 2018 and an environmental violation regarding boiler room conditions, though these have been resolved.
