3720 Avenue L, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 6-story, 48-unit building at 3720 Avenue L in Flatlands, owned by Moshe Altusky, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025, including several instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for verification. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with 12 separate complaints between December 2024 and March 2025, suggesting systemic heating system challenges. In addition to the heating issues, there have been notable maintenance and safety concerns.

A November 2024 inspection of apartment F7 revealed three violations, including problems with a shut-off valve knob, cockroach infestation, and a carbon monoxide detector issue, though these were certified as corrected by late November 2024. Previous violations include bedbug infestation in apartment A3 (2023), and multiple pest control issues affecting various units through the years. The building's fire safety systems were a concern in 2022, with violations related to fire escape obstructions and a compactor room fire door.

An elevator service issue was documented in March 2021, along with an Environmental Control Board violation regarding lobby braille tags and access to certain building areas. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt action to address violations, with most being closed within reasonable timeframes. Bedbug reports indicate sporadic infestations between 2018 and 2024, though none were reported in the most recent filing period (2023-2024). The elevator violation from 2021 was addressed with an Oath Violation Served, and historical rodent inspections from 2010-2011 show consistent passing results.
