9104 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 9104 3rd Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Tszlan Chan, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2018. The property, built in 1925, has had recurring heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints reported in 2018 and 2019, suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure challenges. A series of violations documented in March 2022 revealed multiple maintenance needs, particularly in apartment 1R, including defective doors, radiator issues, and problems with plastered surfaces.

The building has also faced various environmental and safety concerns, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (2022), a steam pipe/riser issue (2022), and multiple housing maintenance code violations. More recent activity includes an active violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and an outstanding Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 related to incomplete work inspection. The property has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record in recent filings, with no reported infestations between 2020-2022 and 2021-2022.

While many earlier complaints have been resolved, the building's history shows persistent issues with heating systems, water infrastructure, and periodic maintenance needs. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from 2025 concerns an illegal advertising sign, demonstrating that regulatory oversight remains active. The property has experienced both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues over the years, with varying degrees of resolution, suggesting an ongoing need for careful maintenance management.
