346 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 346 East 9th Street in Kensington, currently owned by Bhmpw Funding Llc, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, with the most persistent problems being related to pest control and heating systems. The building, constructed in 1930, has open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which suggests ongoing challenges with pest management.

Most recently, in May 2025, there were three separate pest-related complaints filed and investigated by HPD, though inspectors found no housing law violations in those cases. The building has also faced heating system problems, with two separate heat/hot water complaints in 2023 and 2024, one of which was classified as an emergency situation, though in both cases the issues were eventually addressed, either through repairs or by confirmed resident notification.

Additional concerns include sanitation issues, as evidenced by a March 2023 inspection that found garbage/recycling storage violations, and rodent activity documented between March and May 2023, which led to bait application in the building. While some of these issues have been addressed promptly—such as the February 2024 heating problem that was reportedly corrected—the persistence of pest-related violations and the pattern of heating system complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent building permit on record was issued in January 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data.
