9216 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

9216 3rd Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit, 1926 New Law Tenement building located in Fort Hamilton and owned by Juliet Padvaganian. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues in 2025, with three documented power outage incidents in March, April, and May, with the March incident resulting in HPD violations. Emergency maintenance requests in 2024 highlighted several safety concerns, including problems with doors, a fire escape, and plumbing issues.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued following a May 2024 inspection, particularly affecting apartment 1R, including defective self-closing doors, carbon monoxide detector issues, and hot water temperature exceeding 130°F. The building's exterior has active ECB violations related to maintenance standards, including cracked plaster and mortar issues affecting stairs and handrails, as well as unpermitted plumbing work for ground floor sinks, with penalties totaling $8,875 currently due. Recent inspection activity shows ongoing enforcement concerns, with violations from 2019 regarding smoke detector maintenance and roof egress blockage still marked as active.

The building has also faced structural concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2023-2024 regarding wall/retaining wall issues and building stability concerns, though inspectors were often unable to gain access during these investigations. While there have been documented sanitation and air quality concerns in 2024, including human feces, these were addressed through DOHMH advisories. On a positive note, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2025.
