3 Plaza St West, Brooklyn, NY 11217

3 Plaza St West is a 16-story, 57-unit brick building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Mary Brennan. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations. Most notably, in 2019, there were violations related to inadequate hot water in unit 5B, and several other safety-related issues were documented, including improper posting of critical safety information in common areas.

From late 2018 through 2023, the building has faced recurring rodent-related problems, with multiple rat sightings reported and some inspections showing rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2023 indicate compliance. The building experienced documented structural concerns in 2021-2022, with reports of building shaking/vibrating affecting structural stability, though inspections did not find violations at the time. There were also issues related to unauthorized construction work in 2019, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties.

However, the building management has consistently addressed regulatory requirements, as shown by the lack of any active ECB or housing maintenance violations as of the most recent data. The property has maintained excellent records of bedbug prevention over the years, with no reported infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent years show improved compliance with health and safety standards, particularly regarding pest control and bedbug management.
