233 South 3rd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Juan Ramos and classified as a 2-family house. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in December 2019 (apartment-level) and May 2020 (entire building), though inspections found no violations in 2020 and no access in 2019. The property has undergone several significant building and violation events, with the most recent being a Partial Stop Work Order issued in February 2023 for unauthorized flooring removal work costing $2,530 in penalties.
Between 2020-2021, there were multiple concerning structural issues, including wall problems documented in several ECB violations (with penalties totaling $16,250) related to cracks and inadequate maintenance of exterior walls, particularly noted at third-floor windows. The building has also faced compliance challenges, with multiple instances (in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023) for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous Class 1 ECB violations, though these were ultimately dismissed. The property underwent various inspections between 2018-2025, with mixed results.
While rat activity was initially detected in March 2018, subsequent inspections in 2019-2020 showed passed results. Significant construction-related violations were recorded, including issues with sidewalk shed installation in 2021 (Oath Violation Served). The building has required multiple inspections and follow-ups regarding various structural and safety concerns, including plumbing issues (2021), with some inspectors unable to gain access during their visits. Though many violations have been resolved, several remain active as of the most recent inspection dates, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
