326 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

326 East 9th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Kensington, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Safayet Safa. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in late 2023, when multiple emergencies were reported and subsequently addressed, including problems with plumbing (water supply), door security, window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. Three violations from November 2023 remain open as of April 2024, specifically concerning safety equipment in apartment 2F, including defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detector issues.

The building has a documented history of rodent-related incidents, with multiple reports from 2021-2022, though inspections generally found no violations, with the exception of a November 2021 initial inspection noting rat activity. The property has had several complaints about safety concerns, including fire escape inspections in July 2021, which resulted in no violations being found. The building's violation history shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with no infested units reported between 2022-2023.

Recent environmental control board actions include a October 2024 violation regarding an improperly maintained sidewalk curb, resulting in a $655 penalty. Multiple complaints about unauthorized work in the building between 2020-2024 have been recorded, though most inspections noted "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" when attempting to verify the complaints. Two units, 1F and 2F, have specific open violations as of early 2024 concerning window counter balance issues. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention is required to maintain compliance with safety and maintenance standards, particularly regarding building systems and safety equipment.
