121 3rd Place is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Naeim Ahmed and located in Carroll Gardens. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns including a radiator problem in December 2024, and multiple water-related issues between 2023-2024, including slow leaks that resulted in housing code violations.

The property has also faced challenges with water damage and mold, as evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections in 2023. Significant building-wide issues were documented in August 2023 following an inspection, revealing several open violations including problems with self-closing doors in common areas and apartment 8, issues with public hall ceilings, and roof leakage concerns affecting both the public hall and apartment 8. Historically, the building has had various emergencies requiring HPD intervention, including heat/hot water problems in 2022 and electrical issues in 2020.

The property underwent inspections for bedbugs and rodents, passing the rodent inspection in June 2023, while bedbug reports from 2023 (covering periods 2021-2022 and 2022-2023) indicated no infestations or related issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems and structural concerns, particularly affecting the 4th story and apartment 8, which has required both emergency responses and routine HPD inspections to address various violations. While some issues have been resolved, as indicated by "closed" statuses on many complaints, several violations remain open as of the latest information, particularly regarding door repairs, ceiling conditions, and roof maintenance.
