76 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

76 South 3rd Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Joseph Aviles. The building has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, particularly with compliance to housing maintenance codes.

Notably, there are multiple open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024. The property also had a heat and hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building in January 2022, which was resolved within two days according to HPD records. Additional historical issues include an electrical wiring complaint in January 2022 regarding defective or exposed wiring, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt.

On a positive note, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection conducted in December 2022. While some of these issues have shown temporary resolution, such as the heat/hot water complaint, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violation requirements suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance at this property. The building's age and history as an Old Law Tenement are typical for its classification, and while no recent safety or habitability concerns have been recorded in the past year, the pattern of recurring violations warrants attention to the building's maintenance practices.
