3319 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, three-story New Law tenement building at 3319 Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Sandra Richards, has been in operation since 1910 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is an unresolved cooking gas-related issue that began in August 2023 and remained unresolved through June 2024, during which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions.

The building is currently under an open Class A violation from April 2024 concerning the annual bedbug reporting requirements, a recurring issue evidenced by similar violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021, though no actual bedbug infestations were reported in the last two completed reporting periods (2021-2022 and 2019-2020) with zero units indicated as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. The most recent available bedbug report filing was completed in April 2023 for the 2021-2022 period, and in April 2021 for the 2019-2020 period, both showing zero infestation issues.

The building's documented history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past four reporting periods, with all indicating zero infestation cases, despite the repeated violations noted by HPD regarding the filing process. The most pressing current concern remains the unresolved cooking gas issues from 2023-2024, which appear to be reflective of access difficulties for inspection purposes rather than a definitive resolution of the original complaint. Given the nature of these violations and complaints, they warrant attention though they do not necessarily indicate persistent safety or maintenance issues if properly addressed.
