526 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 526 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Salvatore Garzillo and constructed in 1920, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years.
Most notably, there is an active open violation related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018-2023, with violations issued as recently as September 2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with safety maintenance requirements. The building has also been cited for not filing the required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with all four Class A violations remaining open as of 2025.
There have been two significant resident complaints about building conditions: an unsolved heating/hot water issue in 2019 where HPD couldn't access the apartment for inspection, and a 2021 complaint about an illegally kept pet snake that was not properly investigated by DOHMH due to address confusion. The violation history indicates persistent issues with maintenance compliance, particularly regarding both pest management reporting and pressure system inspections, which warrant attention to the building's overall maintenance practices.
