330 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building at 330 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg, owned by Christina Samborsky, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in mid-2024, the property faced multiple sewage-related complaints, with three separate plumbing/sewer complaints filed through 311 that were classified under both emergency and non-emergency categories, as well as indoor air quality issues related to sewage odor. These complaints were particularly problematic as Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, leaving the issues unresolved through the complaint system.

The building also experienced window and door-related problems in 2023, with multiple complaints about window frames and doors filed through HPD, though one of these complaints received an inspection and was closed without violations. Earlier records from late 2019 indicate significant issues in Apartment 1, including mold, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and problems with safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently closed after being addressed. The property has demonstrated a troubling pattern of access issues for inspectors, as evidenced by multiple complaints (both in 2023 and 2024) where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify reported conditions.

More recently, in August 2024, a Class C violation regarding a non-self-closing door at the first-story center courtyard was recorded, though the current status is noted as closed. An active ECB violation from July 2024 related to the sidewalk shed has a substantial penalty imposed of $10,000. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2025. The property has undergone some regulatory scrutiny for basic safety issues, with inspections in 2021 regarding egress concerns and a plumbing violation from 2020 that required follow-up, though in both instances no violations were found at the time of inspection.
