586 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 5-unit, 4-story building at 586 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Ralph Tawil, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there were two consecutive complaints in 2023 regarding building shaking and vibration affecting structural stability, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate.
The building's heating and hot water systems have been problematic, with emergency complaints in November 2020 indicating temporary loss of these essential services, though they were reported restored during HPD's response. A concerning pattern emerged with the boiler system, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2019 and 2021, including two complaints in September 2021 about defective/inoperative equipment. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest issues, with bedbug reports showing only one infested unit in 2019-2020 and none reported in subsequent years, including the most recent 2024 report showing zero infested or re-infested units.
The building has also demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing in 2013 despite an initial failure in a January inspection. Of particular note are three violations issued in 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, though these were ultimately dismissed in March 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular permit activity in 2021, with multiple work permits issued between June and December 2021 for exterior work.
