409 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 2-family house at 409 Parkside Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Nirvana Tikku, has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years, most notably in 2022. During a May 20, 2022 inspection, two Class B Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented: one regarding inadequate water supply for wet sprinkler/standpipe systems in the cellar, and another concerning improper use of plumbing fixtures (water closet and wash basin) in the cellar.

These violations were certified as addressed by June 22, 2022. The building faced scrutiny in May 2022 concerning potential illegal conversions, with two complaints (numbers 3855593 and 3855595) alleging unlawful dwelling unit modifications. However, inspections conducted on June 8 and June 27, 2022 determined that no violations warranted enforcement actions at the time of inspection.

Further complicating the building's compliance record, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued on May 20, 2022 related to unauthorized occupancy and illegal bathroom facilities in the cellar, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The building's permit history shows that a permit was issued on August 10, 2021, with job number 321599953, though the specific nature and resolution of this permit remains unclear from the available data. While the documented violations and complaints have been resolved or closed, they indicate a period of regulatory scrutiny regarding the building's cellar modifications and safety systems between 2021 and 2022.
