Banner 3rd Road, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The two-story residential property at Banner 3rd Road in Brighton Beach, owned by Jack Kurtz and constructed in 2008, currently has multiple open housing maintenance code violations that are particularly concerning for resident safety and comfort. As of April 2024, there are repeated violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years (2021-2024), indicating a potential ongoing compliance issue with pest management requirements. The building also has persistent issues with its roof and entrance doors, documented through multiple violations in 2020.

Specifically, there are open violations regarding the roof hatch not closing properly (Class A violation) and the building entrance doors not functioning as self-closing doors (Class C violation), both of which were noted during an inspection on March 27, 2020). While these violations date back to 2020, their continued open status suggests these safety concerns have not been adequately addressed over the years. The property has a documented emergency complaint from March 2020 regarding the roof door/hatch, which was closed within two weeks.

However, this emergency situation appears to have been only part of the larger pattern of roof and door-related issues that remain unresolved. Despite being a relatively new building (constructed in 2008), the persistence of these violations over multiple years raises questions about maintenance practices and adherence to housing regulations. The identification of these violations as "Class A" and "Class C" suggests varying levels of severity, with Class C violations generally representing more serious safety concerns.
