218 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

218 Park Place is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Avraham Garbo. The property has a notable history of construction-related issues, with multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits between 2018 and 2021, including three specific incidents in 2019 involving Stop Work Orders that were ultimately rescinded. These violations were associated with work in the rear yard area, where an unauthorized structure approximately 15x10 feet with a roof was observed.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 indicate ongoing concerns about construction oversight, with penalties initially imposed for failure to designate a valid construction superintendent, though these were later resolved. The building has also faced persistent administrative challenges, including four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which remain open as of 2024. The property's maintenance history includes numerous inspections and violations related to rodent control between 2016-2018, showing varied results from rat activity to bait application, though an initial inspection in 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

Multiple violations for failing to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations were issued between 2019-2021, though most of these were ultimately dismissed. The building's permit history between 2018-2020 shows regular permit activity for various improvements, including plumbing, electrical, and alteration work, with several permits being issued through job numbers 321401577 and 321455135, indicating ongoing maintenance and upgrading efforts. While there are no recent major safety concerns on record, the pattern of recurring violations and open cases for bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing administrative challenges that may affect resident experience.
