30 1st Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

30 1st Place is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by Robert Ameen and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with a cluster of complaints in March 2022 regarding various conditions including mold, appliance problems (electric range and refrigerator), floor issues, and concerns about ventilation systems. Notably, there were multiple safety-related complaints about carbon monoxide detectors and a potential issue with smoke detectors in late 2021.

All of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and while no violations were issued, the repeated nature of the complaints suggests ongoing concerns about building maintenance. The building has also been subject to multiple annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent filing from April 2024 indicates no current infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting that the bedbug issues have been resolved. A notable heating complaint from 2022 regarding inadequate heat was also closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

More recently, in 2023 and 2024, there were violations recorded regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed. A Department of Buildings inspection in 2020 found no violations warranting further action. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the absence of current violations and recent bedbug-free certification suggests some improvements in building conditions.
