7309 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

7309 3rd Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and owned by Wing Shum. The 1915 property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging between 2023 and early 2025. The building has documented multiple pest-related complaints, particularly during the summer of 2023 when violations were issued for pest problems, including roaches and mice infestations in Apartment 3R.

The apartment also had various maintenance issues that required attention, including problems with the bathroom faucet, carbon monoxide detector, flooring, and several other repairs that were ultimately certified as addressed between August and October 2023. The building has had multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints regarding plumbing, water supply issues, and heating/hot water problems between 2023 and 2024, with the most recent pest-related complaint filed in January 2025. A cluster of complaints in June 2023 included issues with pests, water leaks, mold, and flooring problems, some of which resulted in violations. While most of these issues appear to have been addressed, as indicated by the closure of violations, the building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns with both basic services and pest control.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent three annual filings (2024, 2023, 2022) showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has undergone some repairs to address violations, including work completed on the kitchen plaster surfaces, floor repairs, and remediation of various maintenance issues documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations. These violations were primarily focused on ensuring proper repairs and addressing safety concerns, such as securing loose handrails, repairing fire retardant materials, and addressing plumbing issues. An earlier complaint from 2019 regarding construction work was investigated but found no violations.
