316 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family (classified as a "New Law Tenement") building at 316 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Corey Burrell and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Currently, as of 2025, there are ongoing open violations related to apartment 1F from 2023, including problems with the kitchen wall, bathroom ceiling, light fixture, and a mouse infestation, along with maintenance issues requiring proper painting and repairs.

The building has documented multiple service requests between 2022 and 2024, including a recent 2024 electrical lighting complaint, and several door/window-related issues, with some complaints resulting in HPD violations, particularly concerning door problems and pest infestations in late 2022. Significant historical issues include a 2021 incident involving unauthorized cellar modifications, where partitions were allegedly installed to create additional living spaces with bathrooms, leading to multiple violations and ECB citations for work performed without proper permits.

These violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's condition has shown some fluctuation, with bedbug reports filed in 2023 and 2024 indicating zero infested or re-infested units during those reporting periods, though it should be noted that multiple housing maintenance code violations from 2023 regarding general maintenance and sanitation issues remain open. While the property has undergone various inspections and received attention from multiple oversight agencies, many of the most pressing maintenance concerns appear to be concentrated in apartment 1F, with more recent complaints focusing primarily on electrical, door, and general maintenance issues.
