105 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 105 Third Avenue in Boerum Hill, owned by Frank Picone, has a mixed maintenance record since 2021. A significant cluster of issues was documented in October 2021, primarily affecting apartment 3R, including multiple open violations related to safety systems such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, an improper exterior door hasp, and fire escape concerns.

While some violations were subsequently closed, including those related to fire egress and door self-closing mechanisms, several critical safety issues remain unresolved as of this report's most recent data. The building's 311 service history shows two complaints in September 2021 - one that could not be inspected regarding ceiling conditions, and another that resulted in violations concerning door frames. The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and a successful rodent control program, passing inspections in 2019 and addressing rat activity issues noted in 2011.

Recent history shows one complaint to the Department of Buildings in March 2022 that was closed with no violations found. The building's maintenance record reveals recurring maintenance issues, particularly affecting safety systems and general habitability standards, though the absence of bedbug reports and successful rodent inspections indicate effective pest control management. As of the latest data in October 2023, several violations from 2021 remain open, particularly concerning safety systems and compliance with housing maintenance codes, while other issues have been addressed through various resolutions and repairs.
