305 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 3-story, 0-unit building at 305 Garfield Place in Park Slope, owned by Emmie Glynn Ryan, has been in operation since 1892 and has undergone conversion to a Class B building. The property has experienced persistent issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file required annual bedbug reports with HPD.

Most recently, in April 2024, the building was cited for this continuing violation, with no certified correction date listed. The building's Department of Buildings records show multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in 2024, particularly related to illegal work on a landmark building and work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though inspections in some cases resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access or finding no violations warranted. A rodent inspection history from 2017 shows some concerning results, with rat activity recorded in both April and June 2017, followed by a passed compliance inspection in December 2017.

The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows a pattern of regulatory and compliance issues primarily focused on bedbug reporting requirements and complaints about unauthorized work, particularly regarding landmark building concerns. While the rodent situation appears to have been resolved by the end of 2017, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent the most current and persistent compliance issue as of 2024. The property has also experienced some inspection access issues, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" dispositions in 2024, which may indicate logistical challenges in conducting thorough inspections or verification of complaints.
