65 3rd Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story, eight-unit building at 65 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens, owned by Jacob Fulop, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly related to heat and safety. Most notably, there have been two separate complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in late 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building currently has two active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding construction lead dust in common areas from September 2023. There are also multiple past compliance issues, including an open Class C violation from August 2021 related to entrance door self-closing mechanisms at apartment 1R, and a previously closed B violation from the same month regarding a defective fire escape drop ladder. The building's recent history shows some pattern of potentially unchecked construction activity, with four complaints filed between September and October 2023 regarding work without proper permits or after hours, though inspections did not warrant violations.

A new violation was issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no units reported as infested or requiring eradication in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. The most recent bedbug report, filed in December 2024, indicates zero infested or previously infested units.
