329 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

329 3rd Street in Park Slope is a 4-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Bulent Hurioglu. The property has experienced several notice-worthy incidents over the past few years, with the most pressing issues revolving around safety and maintenance compliance.

In early 2022, the building was found to have rodent problems, and follow-up inspections in March 2022 showed initial rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's history includes three significant maintenance issues in April 2021, including broken window guards and a temporary heat and hot water failure, both classified as emergency situations. Of particular note, the building underwent four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code inspections from 2021 to 2024 that identified violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

However, recent filings for the years 2022-2023 indicate no reported bedbug infestations, with records showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in the 2024 reports. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to pest issues, as evidenced by rodent inspections in 2019 (passed) and 2022 (initial rat activity noted), though these inspections suggest the building has faced ongoing challenges with vermin control. While most violations have been resolved, the history of both rodent and heat issues suggests periodic maintenance challenges, though recent bedbug report compliance indicates improved attention to this aspect of building maintenance.
