3405 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11234

3405 Kings Highway is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building located in Flatlands, built in 1931 and currently owned by Dvorah Balsam. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with at least ten documented complaints between 2020 and 2025, including two emergency complaints in January 2025 and December 2024. Building infrastructure concerns include multiple elevator violations between 2021 and 2023, most recently in December 2023 related to defective elements requiring an Oath Violation.

The elevator maintenance history shows several safety-related violations, including a 2022-2023 citation for non-compliance with fireman service requirements and door monitoring installation. The property has documented plumbing issues, particularly in Apartment 1C, with multiple complaints about water leaks and hot water supply problems between 2019 and 2023. Additional concerns included a water leak problem in Apartment 3A in July 2021, which resulted in multiple violations. The building underwent some structural work, with permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for unspecified general construction.

While there have been previous rodent inspection failures in 2010, more recent inspections show compliance, and the building has not reported any bedbug infestations since 2019. The property has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a December 2022 violation for locked heating system access, though many of these violations were subsequently resolved. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2025 have identified various building system deficiencies, including a defective boiler system requiring Oath Violation service in May 2025. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring heat and hot water system issues, with many complaints resulting from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development being unable to gain access to inspect the reported problems.
