9102 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

9102 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Fort Hamilton and owned by Luigi Lobuglio. The building, constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2024 regarding heat/hot water problems in an individual apartment that HPD was unable to inspect. Between 2018 and 2024, there have been at least eight documented complaints (both for the entire building and individual apartments) regarding heat and hot water issues, though most were subsequently reported as resolved.

The building has also faced several structural and maintenance challenges, including ongoing violations as of April 2024 for various issues, such as illegal fastenings at the entrance door of Apartment #1, encumbrances in public hallways, and paint requirements in public areas. Notably, an Environmental Control Board violation from December 2022 indicates problems with the exterior walls of the 1-story addition (tailor shop) with reports of cracking and leaning. The property has undergone multiple inspections over the years, revealing various maintenance issues that were typically addressed.

These included roof repairs to prevent leaks, fire retardant material repairs, and window repairs in public areas. The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with violations recorded for boiler issues in 2022 and gas utility concerns in 2019. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the building passed all rodent inspections, with the last inspection in 2013 showing no rodent issues. The current housing code violations from 2024 primarily concern maintenance of public areas, including the presence of construction materials, ladders, and furniture blocking hallways, as well as requirements for proper ceiling and wall maintenance.
