323 Avenue O, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, three-unit building at 323 Avenue O in Midwood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Rita Kaslof, has experienced significant activity over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations are not directly related to current resident comfort or safety.

Between 2023 and 2024, the property underwent considerable construction activity that generated multiple complaints and violations. These included several instances of work being conducted without proper permits, construction contrary to approved plans, and violations of stop work orders. In particular, there was a significant issue with the allegedly unpermitted demolition of a rear garage structure, which resulted in a substantial active violation with a $12,500 penalty.

The most recent inspections in late 2024 revealed some ongoing construction-related concerns, with one sustainability enforcement work order from August 2024 remaining active as of August 30, 2024, when the inspector was unable to gain access. The building has also been subject to multiple Environmental Control Board violations, most of which have been resolved with penalties, including a $625 violation for construction fence non-compliance and a $1,250 penalty for work performed without proper permits. Despite these various issues, there is no documented history of bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period from November 2020 to October 2021, with all previously infected units reported as having been eradicated.
