1709 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
1709 East 3rd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1927 in the Gravesend neighborhood, currently owned by East 3rd Street Group LLC. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints regarding leaks between 2019 and 2024, including recent emergency water leak complaints in June 2024. Several maintenance and safety concerns have been documented, particularly in 2024, including issues with fire escapes, window guards, and a roof door that required immediate attention.
Building violations include both open and closed citations related to tenant safety, such as a broken door with defective hinges and encumbrances obstructing fire escape egress. The building's maintenance record shows three active external low-pressure inspection violations from 2023-2024, while recent bedbug reporting from 2022 through 2023 indicates no infestations. Historical records show various complaints about heat and hot water access, plumbing issues, and general maintenance matters, though many of these were either closed without violations or inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
The building has undergone some permitted work in recent years, with two exterior work permits issued in 2020 and 2021. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions and work without permits have been filed between 2020 and 2022, though most inspections resulted in either no violations being found or inspectors being unable to access the premises. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, showing zero infested units in recent filings, and has addressed some maintenance issues as evidenced by closed violations, though a significant number of citations issued in 2022-2024 remain open or were only recently certified as resolved. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with water management and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding safety and egress-related issues.
