448 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
448 3rd Avenue, a four-story, eight-unit old law tenement building in Gowanus built in 1931 and currently owned by Edward Torres, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. The building has a concerning history of heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in January 2019 and December 2020; while heat and hot water were reportedly restored in 2019, inspectors in 2020 were unable to access units for verification.
Most recently, a 2024 violation remains active regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though another related matter from September 2024 regarding an inadequate fence was referred to the Department of Transportation. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance requirements, particularly with bedbug reporting; violations were documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report.
However, as of April 2024, the bedbug filing for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 reported zero infested units, suggesting successful resolution of this particular issue. Historical records from 2010 show previous rodent inspection failures, but there have been no documented pest issues in recent years. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive management regarding basic services, with multiple complaints requiring governmental intervention to address heating and reporting issues.
