762 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 42-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 762 East 3rd Street in Kensington, owned by Rosalie Passalacqua, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months, with no heat or hot water complaints logged in December 2024 and January 2025. The building, constructed in 1930, has faced various maintenance challenges over the past several years, including multiple unsanitary conditions related to mold and a water leak in April-May 2022, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

In May 2022, several violations were documented in apartment D10, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, a broken cabinet door, and plastered surfaces, though these were certified as corrected by June 2022. The building's history shows a pattern of pest-related issues, with seven infested units reported in 2021 and five in 2019, though more recent filings for 2022-2024 show no infestation or eradication activity. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance requirements, including an open violation from April 2023 regarding the proper display of inspection certificates near mailboxes.

Previous violations from 2021 required painting at the 4th-story bulkhead roof and repairs to the fire escape, while a 2020 gas utility referral investigation was unable to gain access. Recent years have shown improvements in some areas, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years and no new rodent violations since 2015. The building's maintenance history indicates consistent attention to regulatory requirements, though the recent heating system problems suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
