303 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 303 3rd Street in Park Slope, owned by Miri Hecht and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues over recent years. The most recent incident occurred in August 2024, involving a slow water leak that could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Currently, there is an open Class C violation from July 2023 related to defective self-closing doors in the boiler room at the cellar level, which requires attention to meet safety standards. The building has demonstrated good management of bedbug issues, with annual reports from 2022-2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, though an A-class violation was issued in 2022 for failing to file the annual report that appears to have been resolved. Rodent control has been a recurring concern, with multiple service requests between 2021 and 2022 documenting rat sightings, though a December 2021 inspection resulted in a passing grade, and more recent filings suggest improved conditions.

Historical records from 2014 indicate significant rodent activity at that time, with multiple bait application instances. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, as evidenced by the closure of bedbug reporting violations and inspection pass rates, though the recent water leak and open door violation warrant attention. Regular inspections and reporting since 2014 indicate ongoing monitoring of both pest control and building maintenance requirements.
