161 Park Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 161 Park Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Hafez Ullah and constructed in 1905, has experienced several significant compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are recurring violations related to bedbug reporting, with annual requirements not being met according to Housing Maintenance Code mandates from 2021 through 2024, all of which are currently listed as open violations.
The building has active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding unfiled boiler and external low pressure inspection reports, respectively. In 2021, a safety complaint regarding a smoke detector was filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit.
More recently, in May 2025, there was an investigation into possible illegal conversion at the property, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. Another concerning incident occurred in March 2021, when HPD issued a violation pertaining to inadequate cleanliness of the first-story vestibule floor. The building's inspection and violation history indicates ongoing challenges with compliance to basic safety and maintenance requirements, particularly regarding necessary annual reporting and inspections.
