492 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The five-story, 10-unit building at 492 3rd Street in Park Slope, owned by Erminia Costantino, has a complex history marked by significant regulatory and safety concerns. The property, built in 1920 and classed as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, has ongoing issues with failing to file required annual bed bug reports for 2023 and 2024, despite previous years' violations being closed.
A notable incident occurred in 2022 when serious safety violations were documented regarding purported illegal hotel rooms in apartments 1A and 1B on the first floor, including lack of required means of egress, missing fire alarm systems, and absence of automatic sprinklers. These violations, though listed as "resolved" in some categories, included substantial penalties totaling $87,500 across multiple citations. More recently, the building has active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings for 2018, 2019, and 2023, suggesting ongoing regulatory compliance issues.
Multiple complaints about illegal hotel room usage were filed between 2022 and 2023, with varying outcomes including "No Violation Warranted," "Inspector Unable To Gain Access," and an "Oath Violation Served" status. A special operations compliance inspection request was entered in May 2025, indicating continued scrutiny of the building's operations. While a bed bug report was filed for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 showing zero infested units, the building's recent history suggests persistent challenges with regulatory compliance and resident safety requirements.
