37 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

37 South 3rd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in Williamsburg, currently owned by John McNulty. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2020 and 2022, though inspections typically found conditions had been resolved by the time of HPD's response.

In late 2020, there were concerns about flooring/stairs and mold conditions, for which inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issues. The property has been subject to two rodent-related incidents in recent years, most recently in August 2023, though both inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. Of particular note, there are currently two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While the building was inspected for rodents in November 2023 and July 2021 and passed both inspections, the presence of open violations suggests ongoing compliance issues. The most recent 311 service request was in August 2023 for a rat sighting, though this was also resolved with no violations found upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues for inspectors, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2020, 2021, and 2022 where access to units was not granted, leading to closed complaints despite the issues potentially still existing.
