3007 Avenue K, Brooklyn, NY 11210

This three-story, two-unit building located at 3007 Avenue K in Flatlands, built in 1931 and currently owned by Francis Gluska, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during the winter months of late 2023 and early 2024. The building faced multiple heating and hot water system failures in November 2023, with at least four separate complaints requiring HPD intervention. These incidents resulted in two Class C violations specifically regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 1, though records indicate systems were eventually restored.

Additional concerns include an open Class A violation as of April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, multiple window pane issues, and a sprinkler system inspection in November 2023. The building experienced pest control problems, with a Class C violation issued in November 2023 for cockroach infestation in Apartment 1, and there were documented issues with mold (approximately 6 sq. ft. in the bathroom) and water leaks, particularly in the public areas.

The property has a concerning history of utility-related issues, as evidenced by a cooking gas complaint in February 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect, and a 2018 gas hook-up complaint that also resulted in inspector access issues. A potentially serious safety concern is noted in the open violation regarding the need for a one-hour fire-rated self-closing door in the public hallway near Apartment 1. The building's infrastructure requires attention, as indicated by various inspection results showing both compliance and violation statuses, including a documented requirement to repair evidence of a water leak in the first story public hall stairs. While the property has maintained good rodent control as evidenced by passing inspections since 2019, the building's current and historical maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure.
