316 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The five-story, three-unit building at 316 Garfield Place in Park Slope, owned by James Konkel and constructed in 1911, has maintained a concerning pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code over the past four years.

Specifically, the building has received four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These persistent violations, which remain open and unresolved as of the latest inspection in April 2024, suggest ongoing administrative challenges with compliance to housing safety regulations.

Prior to this recent history of violations, the building underwent an initial rodent inspection in January 2018, which it successfully passed. While the rodent inspection result was positive, the repeated bedbug report violations indicate a more recent pattern of oversight regarding required safety documentation, though it should be noted that these violations do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation in the building, rather they reflect non-compliance with reporting regulations.
