206 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

206 South 3rd Street is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Naftali Hager. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns including unsanitary conditions involving pests as of May 2025, and multiple violations in late 2024 in Apartment 3 related to flooring and water damage. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water system problems, with complaints in 2024 and 2021 indicating temporary outages affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

Safety equipment violations were identified in April 2024 in Apartment 7, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has experienced periodic rodent-related concerns, with inspections and complaints from 2016 through 2019 showing varying levels of activity, though recent inspections (2019) passed. Recent Department of Buildings activity for 206 South 3rd Street includes two active violations from 2023-2024 related to external low-pressure inspection filing and other maintenance issues, as well as a construction-related violation from February 2025.

In the past, there were significant structural concerns, such as a 2020 citation regarding a leaning parapet wall that extended outward over the pedestrian pathway and required $1,250 in penalties, though this was later resolved. The building's management has taken steps to address health and safety requirements, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances for maintenance work between 2018-2021, including exterior work permits. The property has consistently submitted bedbug reports since 2020 showing zero infestation cases, indicating successful pest management in that regard.
