326 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building at 326 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, owned by Robert Vasquez and built in 1931, has experienced persistent infrastructure issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, multiple violations were documented in apartment 2L, including problems with water leaks, electrical service, and ceiling conditions. The building's electrical systems have been a recurring concern, with several emergency complaints about wiring, power outages, and outlet issues between 2024 and 2023.

Water-related problems are also significant, with multiple slow leaks reported through 2024, and a new damp spot identified in May 2024. The boiler system has attracted attention, with two active ECB violations from July 2023 related to an unpermitted installation and various maintenance issues, including leaking conditions and safety concerns, though these violations have an associated penalty of $9,375 that remains unpaid as of 2025. Historical data indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water issue reported in 2022.

While the building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports since 2023 showing zero infestations, the property has faced regulatory scrutiny for various compliance issues, including five violations related to work performed without proper permits in 2018, though many of these violations have since been resolved or dismissed. Recent administrative matters include a work without permit complaint in early 2025 that was referred to Consumer Affairs. The building's maintenance history suggests an ongoing need for attention to basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding water, electrical, and heating systems.
