3 Bay 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family house at 3 Bay 38th Street in Gravesend, currently owned by Roger Liu, has a documented history of heating system issues, particularly during the latter half of 2021. Four separate heat and hot water complaints were filed between August and September 2021, with three of these complaints resulting in the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access to inspect the reported problems.

One of these complaints was inspected and resulted in violations being issued. Following these incidents, another heat-related emergency complaint was filed in December 2021, though it should be noted that this complaint, like several others, resulted in HPD not being able to access the affected apartment for inspection.

In addition to the heating system problems, the building's maintenance record shows a long-standing issue with the rear courtyard area: a B-class violation for accumulated refuse and rubbish documented in March 2015, which remained open until May 2018 when it was certified as corrected. More recently, a specific C-class violation was recorded in September 2021 regarding inadequate hot water provision in Apartment A1 (located on the first story), though there is no indication of its current status in the available records. The building, constructed in 1920, is two stories tall and contains two residential units, with the majority of documented issues centering around one particular apartment's heating system.
