346 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

346 Union Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and owned by Sahin Cetinkaya. The 1920 structure has been through several notable compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns relating to bedbug reporting requirements.

The building has received three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code Class A violations between March 2022 and April 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though these violations are in the process of being addressed. Additionally, there was a significant safety violation in October 2021 when the building was cited for obstructed egress on the third story due to improperly installed partitions around a scuttle ladder to the roof in a public hall area. While this violation was of Class B (which generally indicates greater severity than Class A violations), it has not been re-inspected based on the available data shows.

The building's recent history suggests ongoing compliance challenges, particularly with bedbug reporting, which has been an annual issue from 2021 through 2024. The most recent bedbug report violation from April 2024 remains open as of now, though there is some indication that earlier violations from 2021 and 2022 may have been addressed, as one bedbug-related violation from April 2021 is marked as closed. While there is no evidence of active infestations from these violations, the pattern of non-compliance with reporting requirements is notable.
