250 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 250 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg, owned by Paul Henry and constructed in 2015, has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2021. This period saw reports of a slow water leak and mold issues in April 2021, the latter resulting in housing code violations requiring remediation of approximately 4 square feet of visible mold at the ceiling in Apartment 3.

Additional violations were documented during an April 2021 inspection related to building safety and maintenance, including requirements for gas leak procedures, smoke detector notices, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and various building signage requirements, though all these violations were certified as corrected in January 2024. The building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices. Both rodent inspections conducted in 2018 and 2022 passed without issues.

A rat sighting was reported in November 2021, though the Health Department's subsequent inspection found no violations. Notably, a water leak was reported and investigated in April 2021, which was classified as an emergency, though no violations were issued upon inspection. While the building experienced some significant maintenance issues in 2021, more recent records (2022-2025) suggest improved building management, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple violations and the absence of recurring pest problems.
