388 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-family property at 388 5th Avenue in Park Slope, built in 1931 and currently owned by Gerard Agard, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly related to construction activities and rodent infestations. Most notably, from December 2024, there are multiple active violations against Impact Builders Corp related to serious construction safety compliance issues, including lack of fire extinguishers, inadequate protection for adjacent properties, unsafe conditions with newly installed wood frames, and unauthorized work sequences.
These violations have resulted in substantial penalties totaling $15,250. The building has also faced ongoing rodent infestation challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2018 and 2024. Recent inspections in early 2024 consistently showed rat activity, though some inspections noted bait being applied.
The property has numerous outstanding violations requiring attention, including three active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018-2020, and six immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations from 2021 that were subsequently dismissed. Additional construction-related concerns include a partial stop work order from December 2024 and multiple complaints regarding scaffolding safety. While some older violations have been resolved, including a 2022 sidewalk shed issue, the current active violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance at this address.
