9719 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 9719 3rd Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Andrew Latsko, was constructed in 1928 and has been subject to several recent maintenance issues. Most notably, in September 2024, the property faced boiler-related violations involving a Peerless 63-06 boiler with a dangerously clogged chimney base and combustion air louver, though these were resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building has a documented history of timely bedbug reporting, with consistent annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units since at least 2018. Despite two recent Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 and 2024 regarding the late filing of annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently closed, the absence of actual infestations suggests effective pest management.

The building's maintenance history shows relatively few serious issues, with the most significant being the 2024 boiler problems that required immediate attention and resulted in an Oath Violation. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with all reports indicating no infestations, though the late filing notices suggest occasional administrative lapses. Overall, while the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly with its heating system, the completed bedbug reporting requirements and lack of documented infestations indicate that pest control measures have been effective when properly reported.
