260 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

260 Parkside Avenue is a 4-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Victor Kahan. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding plumbing problems (including bathtubs/showers and sinks), pest control (rodent and cockroach issues), and general maintenance concerns such as flooring, wall conditions, and intercom system problems. While many of these complaints were addressed and closed by HPD, there were multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections, particularly for plumbing and general maintenance issues.

The building has several active violations related to building safety and requirements, including failure to file required external low pressure inspections in 2023, and non-compliance with energy efficiency reporting requirements dating back to 2019. A notable rodent infestation issue was documented in late 2022-early 2023, though a March 2025 inspection passed without violations. The property has also undergone some specific repairs and upgrades, including work on kitchen countertops, windows, doors, and electrical fixtures in apartments C2W and C3W, as well as various maintenance items addressed through Housing Maintenance Code Violations.

While recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations in the past year (2023-2024), there was one documented case in 2022-2023 that was reportedly eradicated. The building's management has been responsive to some of the recurring issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests being addressed, though the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced periodic sanitation concerns, with multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests reported between 2024-2025, though some inspections resulted in no violations being found. The combination of active violations, recent maintenance issues, and historical pest control challenges indicates recurring management and maintenance challenges at this property, though some improvements and repairs have been documented over time.
