1669 West 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 1669 West 3rd Street in Gravesend, owned by Louis Marra and constructed in 1925, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, particularly affecting its basement apartment. The most recent inspection in April 2024 revealed an outstanding violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though subsequent filings (for 2023-2024) indicate no infestations had occurred during that period.

Between 2016 and 2017, the building faced multiple violations requiring repairs in the basement apartment, including water leak issues affecting the ceiling and west wall, damaged plaster surfaces, and concerns regarding an unauthorized Celotex tile ceiling installation in the basement kitchen. Additional maintenance citations were issued during 2016 for plaster and paint concerns in the Grlevel bathroom on the first floor, and in 2011, violations were documented regarding peeling paint in multiple areas of the BB apartment. Despite these historical violations, it's notable that the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance since 2021, with no reported infestations or required eradication procedures in recent years.

The most recent bedbug report filings, through 2024, indicate zero affected units or eradication efforts, suggesting improved pest management practices. While the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various repair needs over time, the absence of recent violations (with the exception of the bedbug report issue) may indicate improved maintenance practices or prompt correction of previously cited issues. The 2017 violations were all certified as corrected by September 2024, showing compliance with necessary repairs and improvements.
