311 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

311 Van Brunt Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1921 in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, currently owned by 311 Van Brunt LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2024 when structural concerns were raised, including reports of building shaking, structural monitoring requirements, and visible cracks in the facade.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in April 2024 regarding disrepair in the exterior walls, specifically noting step cracks in bricks and stucco damage, resulting in a penalty of $1,250. Additional DOB violations from April 2024 required the installation of approximately 25 linear feet of sidewalk shed for public safety, though this violation was later dismissed when it was confirmed that the work had been completed. The building's history shows consistent communication with housing authorities regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive annual violations from 2021 to 2024 for failing to file appropriate reports, though recent filings indicate no bedbug infestations were reported in the most recent three years (2021-2025).

The most recent bedbug report for the period starting November 2023 shows zero infested or eradicated units, continuing a pattern of no reported bedbug issues since 2020. While the building has a history of bedbug reporting violations, the most recent data suggests successful compliance with reporting requirements and no current infestations. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the resolution of the sidewalk shed violation and the filing of necessary reports regarding building conditions, though the active DOB violation from April 2024 regarding building maintenance remains a notable concern.
