3000 Avenue K, Brooklyn, NY 11210
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 3000 Avenue K in Flatlands, owned by Howard Podolsky, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly significant problems emerging in 2025. Multiple complaints related to flooring and stairs were filed in April 2025, with at least one resulting in violations during HPD inspections, while other complaints had non-violative conditions. Earlier in 2025, there were also violations noted regarding plumbing (bathtub/shower) and electrical wiring issues.
These recent problems follow a pattern of maintenance challenges over several years, including multiple violations related to the annual bedbug report filings between 2020-2024, and ongoing plumbing issues affecting multiple units. The building has unaddressed violations from 2020 concerning maintenance of public hall areas, including accumulation of refuse, cleanliness requirements, and repairs to fire-retardant materials in walls. Additionally, there are serious outstanding regulatory compliance issues with the building's boiler system.
In 2023-2024, at least four violations were issued for failure to file required external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020-2023. The Department of Buildings has active ECB violations from May 2020 regarding the boiler system, including problems with the flue pipe, leaking coil plate, and unauthorized work on the oil-fired Peerless boiler, with substantial penalties still outstanding totaling $6,250. The building, constructed in 1930, has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with the most pressing current issues centering on boiler safety compliance, plumbing systems, and general building maintenance.
