3713 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 3713 12th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Asir David-shlomo, was constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant events, most notably a comprehensive set of issues following a fire incident in July 2018 that affected all four of the building's floors, with Apartments 1, 2, 3, and 4 sustaining fire damage. This incident generated multiple open violations, including the need to address fire damage across various apartments, and specific violations related to an illegal subdivision of Apartment 3 into two units, missing skylight replacement at the bulkhead, and a requirement to secure a proper shoe on the fire escape ladder.

Additionally, there was an open violation regarding the need to provide a certificate of occupancy for unauthorized alterations. More recent history shows the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from January 2024 indicating no infested or re-infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period. The property has undergone regular inspections, with consecutive violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed.

A rodent inspection in November 2019 resulted in a passing grade. The building's management applied for and was issued a permit in October 2018, though the specific purpose of this permit is not detailed in the available records. While the property has shown improvements in recent years with respect to bedbug management and passed inspections for other pests, the legacy of 2018 violations suggests historical challenges with building maintenance and safety requirements that potential residents should be aware of.
