3111 Glenwood Road, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 59-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 3111 Glenwood Road in East Flatbush, owned by Robert Izsak, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues over the past three years. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple violations were documented including problems with flooring/stairs, doors, unsanitary pest conditions, and issues with paint/plaster. Previous maintenance concerns were particularly concentrated in Apartment F5, which received multiple violations in August 2024 for issues including defective plaster surfaces, non-functioning smoke detectors, broken plaster surfaces in multiple rooms, and evidence of pest infestations.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring problem, with multiple complaints regarding single-device operation and lack of alternate service from 2020 through 2025, with violations served in 2020 and 2022. The boiler system also faced serious safety concerns in 2024, when a hole in the flue pipe was deemed unsafe to operate, resulting in a $1,280 penalty. Current open violations from 2023 include multiple failures to file required energy benchmarking reports and inspection certifications, indicating possible neglected building systems maintenance.

The building's recent history shows persistent maintenance challenges including plumbing issues (documented in both 2024 and 2025), pest problems (with multiple violations issued), and various safety concerns. While the property has relatively low bedbug activity, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods, the rodent inspections from 2010 and 2019 present a mixed picture of pest control efficacy. The multiple recent violations across various systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the presence of some properly closed violations indicates at least partial compliance with city inspection requirements. The building's age (constructed in 1926) and status as a New Law Tenement class building may contribute to some of the observed maintenance issues, though this should be considered in the context of current property management practices.
