311 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 20-unit, 4-story building at 311 Baltic Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Margaret Brunn, has experienced several recurring issues, particularly with heat and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in early 2025, there were two heat/hot water complaints—one affecting the entire building and another in an individual apartment—though both issues were resolved relatively quickly. In late 2024, multiple complaints were filed and inspected regarding various maintenance issues including mold (violation issued), plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, and ventilation system concerns.

There were also several complaints about pests and unsanitary conditions during this period, with some resulting in violations. A significant cluster of violations was documented in October 2024 for apartment 1D, including issues with mold, a pest infestation, and paint/plaster problems, along with an open violation regarding self-closing doors. The building's history also shows previous concerns about fire safety and building maintenance compliance.

In 2018, there were violations related to fire escape passageway maintenance and the use of prohibited door hardware, resulting in fines. Multiple inspections from 2019 through 2024 report no bedbug infestations, and the building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with no identified infestations or treatments needed. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in late 2022 but could not be verified during inspection in early 2023. While recent heat issues have been addressed promptly, the building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024, with multiple violations requiring attention.
