423 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building at 423 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Luis Perez and built in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that may impact resident quality of life. Most concerning is the building's persistent failure to comply with the annual bedbug reporting requirement under NYC Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Between 2019 and 2024, there were multiple health and safety concerns, including two heat and hot water emergencies in January 2019 (which could not be inspected due to lack of access), various unsanitary conditions in March 2022 involving garbage/recycling storage, safety concerns regarding the fire escape, and plumbing/water supply issues, none of which resulted in violations being issued. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with complaints recorded in 2019 and inspections showing rat activity in May and August 2019, though subsequently passed compliance inspections.
More recent health-related complaints include food safety issues in 2023 and 2024, though these appear to be related to food establishments rather than the residential building itself. The property has experienced recurring problems with garbage storage and signage as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2022, though inspections conducted by HPD did not result in any violations being issued. The building appears to have addressed many previous issues, as evidenced by closed complaints, though the persistent bedbug reporting violation remains an open concern.
