1366 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 35-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1366 East 3rd Street in Midwood, owned by Salvatore Mattioli, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a power outage requiring HPD intervention, and as of August 2024, there is an active violation regarding defective hinges on the south bulkhead door to the roof exit.

The building has a concerning pattern of heating system problems, with emergency complaints about heat and hot water failures recorded in both 2024 (entire building) and 2020 (apartment-specific). Water-related issues have also been evident, including two mold-related complaints (2020 and 2021), a heavy water leak complaint in 2018, and multiple paint/plaster complaints across different areas including walls, windows/frames, and ceilings in 2018-2019. The property has faced several safety-related concerns, particularly regarding fire escape egress obstructions in January 2023, where violations were issued for encumbered fire escapes at various stories.

In 2021, there were multiple violations related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements and various maintenance issues in apartment A2. While the building has had instances of bedbug infestations (notably 5 units affected in 2020), recent filings from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts. The building currently has two active DOB violations from 2023 related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, and historical records indicate unauthorized encroachments on the property in 2020, though no violations were warranted at inspection.
