329 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

329 East 34th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Soleyman Aryeh. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, especially in early 2025, where complaints were filed but inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify the conditions. More concerning are the current open violations from December 2024 in apartment 3F related to defective carbon monoxide detectors, scalding hot water exceeding 140 degrees, and problematic smoke detector issues.

The building has also had multiple inspections in 2024-2025 where violations were noted, including two inspections in February 2025 (one for ceiling issues and one for power outage) where violations were issued. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, including active violations from October 2022 regarding work without permits, with penalties imposed for unauthorized renovation work in apartment 1R. Past complaints show patterns of inadequate maintenance, particularly regarding heating systems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints filed throughout 2024 and 2025.

Additional concerns were noted in June 2024 inspections of apartment 2R, including rodent and pest issues, problems with smoke detectors, and plumbing concerns. While the building has been inspected for bedbugs in 2023 and 2024 with no reports of infestation, the overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance. The most recent complaints as of 2025 indicate persistent issues with basic utilities and building maintenance, with multiple open violations that have not been certified as corrected.
