968 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 4-story old law tenement building at 968 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, currently owned by Turning Point Housing Development Corp, was constructed in 1930 and contains 29 units. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and water systems, particularly evident in a cluster of complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, including multiple emergency heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building and water supply problems.
In January 2024, HPD inspections revealed violations related to building safety, including non-self-closing doors, hot water temperature issues, and various maintenance concerns. More recent inspections in 2025 recorded successful rodent inspections indicating compliance, though previous years showed varying results with documented rat activity in multiple inspections between 2021 and 2022. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety inspections, including multiple semi-annual homeless shelter inspections in 2023-2025 that resulted in Oath Violations.
Notable environmental control board violations from late 2023 cited issues with the boiler system, electrical hazards, and emergency exit door functionality, though all were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2022, with no reported cases in recent years. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to compliance issues, with most violations being resolved within reasonable timeframes, though some penalties were imposed for various violations, including electrical and plumbing issues.
