271 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

271 Parkside Avenue is a 4-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rosario Parlanti, located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. The property has experienced persistent pest control issues in recent years, with multiple rodent sightings reported in 2025 (April, March, and May) and earlier complaints indicating ongoing difficulties with infestation management.

The building has a documented history of pest-related complaints, including reports of unsanitary conditions filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Recent inspections and service requests have revealed several maintenance and safety concerns, particularly affecting apartments A5 and D1. Apartment D1 has open violations as of November 2024 regarding missing entrance doors and ceiling light fixtures, as well as issues with vinyl floor tiles.

Apartment A5 has multiple open violations including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a water leak in the bathroom, and issues with plastered surfaces and paint. The building has also faced infrastructural challenges, with emergency complaints in late 2024 about plumbing and electrical issues, and a historical sprinkler system complaint from 2022 that was closed due to inspector access issues. External inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity confirmed in 2025 inspections and a pattern of passing and failing rodent inspections in previous years, though the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no current infestations as of the latest reports.
