591 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

591 East 3rd Street is a 3-story, 5-unit building located in Kensington, built in 1930 and currently owned by Sam Shabat. The property has documented recurring issues with various maintenance concerns over recent years, with the most recent incidents occurring in December 2023 involving unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building experienced multiple heat and hot water service complaints between 2018 and 2019, with at least one violation issued in November 2019, and in 2018, there were reports of mold and a water leak. The property has several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, which are considered Class A violations under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC).

Previous inspections from 2020 revealed various conditions that required attention, including fire safety materials, wall maintenance, and signage requirements in the first-story public hall, though most of these violations were subsequently closed following correction. Notably, between 2018 and 2019, there were four separate heat/hot water complaints that required investigation, with some cases involving multiple attempts to gain access for inspection. While most recent complaints in December 2023 were investigated without resulting in violations, the building's history shows recurring maintenance issues that have required multiple interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
