118 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
118 South 3rd Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Phillip Shapiro. The property has experienced recurring issues with water supply and heating systems in 2025, with multiple emergency plumbing and heat/hot water complaints filed between January and March 2025, some of which required HPD inspections and resulted in violations.
Most recently, the building has shown consistent rodent activity, with inspection results indicating rat presence in multiple months throughout 2025, despite bait applications being consistently applied from February to June 2025. The building has faced several significant safety concerns in recent years, including multiple open violations regarding fire escape obstructions documented in 2022 (involving air conditioning units, flower pots, and other items on second-story balconies), and issues with building maintenance such as cracked or broken marble treads observed in 2019.
Compliance inspections in 2024 showed some environmental concerns, with violations related to the building's external features and requirements for annual boiler inspection filings. The property has maintained a generally clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. Recent inspections have noted issues with the building's detailed compliance requirements, including a June 2023 violation for failure to file an external low-pressure inspection from 2019, though many previously issued violations appear to have been resolved based on inspection certifications.
