8718 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement at 8718 3rd Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Daniel Muller and built in 1926, has experienced recurring issues with essential services and building maintenance over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with open cases as recent as November 2024, following similar emergencies in 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing HVAC system challenges. The building has also faced several plumbing problems, including water supply and radiator issues, with emergency complaints recorded in 2023 and 2022.
Recent inspections have revealed multiple open violations, including a 2024 citation for encumbrances in the third-floor stairwell and a 2023 violation regarding missing or defective self-closing doors at the building's vestibule and front entrance. The property has undergone various safety inspections and maintenance actions, including addressing bedbug reporting requirements through 2021 with no reported infestations during the specified periods. A concerning pattern of smoking-related complaints has emerged, with an ongoing 2025 investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regarding violations of smoke-free area requirements.
Historical records show a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues being addressed, including electrical outlet problems, flooring concerns, and general maintenance needs documented during 2022 inspections. While some violations have been closed following investigation and repair, several remain open as of 2024, particularly those related to building signage, entrance security, and emergency procedures. The building's rodent inspection history shows initial rat activity in 2018, which was subsequently resolved in 2022 with a passing compliance inspection.
