123 3rd Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

At 123 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens, this 4-story, 8-unit residential building built in 1920 has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents over the past few years. Most notably, the building had significant structural issues documented in December 2022, with a large vertical crack approximately 8 feet in length observed on the right side at the 4th floor, extending horizontally to the rear at parapet level. This resulted in a violation with a penalty of $2,530 that remains outstanding.

The building has also faced some rodent-related issues, with two complaints in 2024 (February and April) reporting rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2022-2024 indicated various concerns including illegal after-hours work, unlicensed work, and compliance inspections, though all were closed without violations being warranted at the time of inspection. A 2019 violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report remains active.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. Recent rodent inspections in March and May 2024 both resulted in passing grades, suggesting improvements in pest management. While the building has faced various regulatory challenges, many recent complaints have not resulted in violations, though the outstanding structural issue and active boiler violation from 2019 warrant attention.
