310 Powers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 3-story, 5-unit residential building at 310 Powers Street in East Williamsburg, owned by Gino Orlando, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, the property suffered fire damage affecting multiple apartments (1B, 2L, and 3L), with current open violations indicating the need to "abate the nuisance" associated with this damage.

The fire incident also led to several other violations, including blockage of egress to fire escapes (particularly concerning in apartment 2R where a partition wall obstructs safe egress), problems with the fire escape drop ladder, and encumbrances blocking the scuttle ladder to the roof. There are multiple open violations related to building maintenance, including defective brickwork at the rear first story, issues with vinyl siding at the rear third story, roof decking concerns, and various other structural problems requiring proper repair.

The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, with complaints about unsanitary conditions and rodents recorded in 2023 and 2021. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, respectively, and no violations were issued at those times, the recurring nature of such complaints is notable. Two rodent inspections conducted in 2019 and 2021 both resulted in passing scores, suggesting some level of pest management compliance, though the recent 2023 complaint indicates ongoing concerns.
