405 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
405 South 3rd Street is a 7-story, 33-unit residential building in Williamsburg, completed in 2013 and currently owned by Bruce Ratner. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly relating to moisture problems, as evidenced by multiple mold complaints in 2025 (April and August), and water-related issues including a damp spot and plumbing problems in January 2025. There were also heat and hot water complaints during 2024-2025, with at least two documented incidents of inadequate heating.
A notable infrastructure issue was recorded in April 2024 when the building experienced floor damage, which was subsequently addressed. The building underwent several elevator-related complaints between 2024-2025, though inspections found no violations warranting further action. The property's environmental control board records from 2023-2020 indicate previous elevator safety concerns, including inoperable safety devices that required attention, along with required repairs to compactor closet doors on the 6th story, which were addressed and certified as corrected in September 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with no infestations reported. While there were multiple housing maintenance code violations identified in 2024, including issues with water leaks and various repair needs in Apartment 4B, all were subsequently resolved through proper remediation. Recent complaints in 2025 have focused primarily on air quality issues, with a chemical vapors/gases/odors complaint in June 2025 receiving an advisory notice to correct the condition.
