446 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 8-unit, 4-story building at 446 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Barry Hers and built in 1931, has experienced several concerning infrastructure issues, particularly during the 2023-2024 period. Most notably, there was a significant heat and hot water system failure in October 2023 that resulted in multiple emergency complaints and violations, though these were eventually addressed.
The building has also faced plumbing issues, including toilet and water supply problems, with some complaints going unresolved due to lack of access for inspection. Several housing maintenance violations were documented, including inadequate entrance lighting, a defective self-closing door in Apartment 4L, and security concerns regarding the locked boiler room door.
Despite these infrastructure challenges, it is worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in official filings from 2021 to 2024. Previous violations from 2021 included concerns about smoke detectors, window frames, and water leakage in Apartment 2R, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's only rodent inspections on record from 2010 showed failures for "Other Reasons," though no more recent pest-related issues have been reported.
