3 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
3 Sumpter Street is a 3-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Beverly Cooper and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past six years, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2023 representing an entire building emergency. Previous similar heating system failures occurred in 2019, 2020, and throughout 2021, though in several instances, tenants reported that heat and hot water were restored before inspection.
The most recent violation inspection from October 2023 revealed three open violations in Apartment 2B, including defective plastered surfaces and windows, as well as a self-closing door issue (which previously had a Class C violation issued in 2023). There are also two active DOB violations from 2023 and 2024 related to failure to file external low pressure inspections. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all nine annual bedbug reports since 2019 showing zero infested units, including the most recent filing period of 2024-2025.
Recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have all passed, indicating no significant pest control issues. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing complaints in September 2021 (for both the entire building and individual units), an appliance issue in 2020 regarding the refrigerator, and multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance protocols. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly concerning the heating system, the documentation shows regular inspections and responses to complaints, with most issues being addressed through the appropriate channels.
