423 3Rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit, four-story old law tenement building at 423 3rd Street in Park Slope, owned by Kathleen Fontano, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there remains an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations, though this follows a pattern of similar violations from 2021 through 2023.

Despite these violations, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicates no infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The building underwent some construction activity in 2018-2019, with multiple permits issued between April 2018 and April 2020 under job number 321605330, including alarm and plumbing work.

During this period, several complaints were filed in July 2019 regarding construction-related issues, including concerns about work beyond approved plans and smoking on-site, though inspections determined no violations warranted. There was also a site conditions complaint in October 2018 that was closed without violation. While the building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, the absence of actual infestations during the reporting periods suggests effective pest management, though the ongoing violation could indicate administrative oversight rather than an active infestation problem.
