510 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 510 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Jon Poler, has a documented history of boiler-related issues spanning several years. Most recently, in March 2023, the building received two separate Environmental Control Board violations regarding unregistered Navien gas-fired boilers found in the cellar, each carrying a penalty of $625 (with $315 still due).

The building currently faces active violations for failing to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018 and 2023, and has an outstanding violation from November 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. In terms of resident comfort and safety, the building experienced a heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2021, though inspectors were unable to access the premises to verify the conditions.

More recently, in July 2023, there was a report of bees/wasps (not associated with a beekeeper) that remains unresolved as of the current date. While the building's age (constructed in 1899) is typical for the neighborhood, the pattern of boiler registration and inspection violations suggests historical challenges with maintenance compliance, though it's worth noting that penalties imposed and balances due have varied over time.
