167 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

167 34th Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park and built in 1930, currently owned by David Green. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in October 2024 involving an inaccessible window frame inspection. There is an active construction lead dust complaint from January 2023 that remains unresolved, and a concerning pattern of access issues has prevented inspections for multiple complaints, including those related to pests, window safety, and various unsanitary conditions.

The building has also faced safety concerns, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in August 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors in critical areas such as the boiler room and cellar, as well as an encumbrance obstructing egress from fire escapes. The property has a documented history of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests filed between 2022-2024, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no infested units. The building has experienced some basic utility issues, including heat/hot water problems and a power outage in 2021, though these appear to have been resolved.

Of particular note are three active violations as of June 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020-2022. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of results, with initial rat activity detected in 2019 and compliance passes in subsequent years, indicating previous infestations were addressed. While the landlord has filed the required bedbug reports annually showing eradication efforts, the building's maintenance history suggests continued vigilance may be necessary regarding property upkeep and prompt addressing of resident concerns.
