245 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
245 South 3rd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Maxwell Seibald. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centering on unsanitary conditions and pest control, as evidenced by HPD inspections in August 2024 that resulted in violations for rodent activity in the basement. There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2024, including system failures affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.
Plumbing issues were also documented, with emergency responses required for sewage problems in April 2024. Recent violations issued in August 2024 include a failure to file required annual bedbug reports and a violation regarding a self-closing door mechanism at the building entrance. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with sanitation and infrastructure, including electrical issues, fire safety concerns, and improper garbage storage.
Three consecutive missed deadlines for external low-pressure inspection filings between 2023-2024 suggest potential fire safety system maintenance lapses. A pattern of rodent infestations has been documented, with multiple violations recorded in 2022-2024 indicating ongoing pest control challenges, particularly in the basement and common areas. While there have been numerous complaints regarding building conditions, most were resolved through inspections, though some remain open as of mid-2025, including general janitor/supervisory concerns and garbage/recycling storage issues filed in June 2025. The building's bedbug reporting history since 2021 shows no documented infestations, and recent rodent inspections from late 2022 showed rat activity, though subsequent inspections were not required to be conducted.
