398 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-family, three-story building at 398 East 3rd Street in Kensington, owned by Basharat Karim and constructed in 1930, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding parking violations and pest control compliance. The property currently has active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from July 2024, with two significant parking-related infractions: one for maintaining an unapproved parking pad with concrete in the front yard ($6,250 penalty) and another for parking violations in a residential district ($312 penalty).
These parking violations follow a pattern of complaints dating back to 2018 regarding illegal curb cut and driveway usage, with at least two instances resulting in Oath Violations being served. Of particular concern is the building's ongoing pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, each citing failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules.
This indicates a persistent issue with meeting basic health and safety documentation requirements. Additionally, there is an active ECB violation from July 2021 relating to the failure to properly obtain and complete the sign-off for an expired construction permit (originally issued under #320831819), which expired in December 2015 and had a penalty of $625 associated with it. Collectively, these violations suggest ongoing challenges with both compliance to housing regulations and proper maintenance of the property's infrastructure.
