462 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 462 3rd Street in Park Slope, owned by Arnold Rosenshein, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident concerns since 2018. A significant cluster of issues emerged in May 2019, starting with a 311 complaint about a door/window issue that was investigated but found to have no violations.

This led to a Department of Buildings investigation regarding egress safety, where it was determined that there were multiple bikes stored on landings throughout the building, obstructing exit pathways, for which the owner received a $1,250 ECB fine. Housing Maintenance Code violations identified during this period included the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, repair of a defective vestibule door lock, removal of an illegal sliding bolt at the fourth-story bulkhead door, and the posting of gas leak emergency procedures. These violations were primarily in common areas and were subsequently certified as corrected by July 2019.

Notably, the building has maintained an excellent pest control record, with no reported cases of bedbugs in any of the eight filing periods from 2018 through the present (with the most recent filings in December 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units). Since the resolution of the 2019 violations and the bedbug-free status report, there have been no further documented complaints or violations on record, suggesting improved maintenance and oversight. The building's age (built in 1920) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historical Park Slope context.
