390 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 6-story, 43-unit building at 390 Parkside Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Michael Malek, has faced ongoing heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025 reporting system failures affecting the entire building. These recent service requests, including several duplicate complaints, generally resulted in either inspections that confirmed restoration of services or cases where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Prior to these heating issues, the building underwent a significant inspection in December 2024 revealing multiple violations in apartment F6, including problems with electrical service, fire egress, roof leaks, hot water supply, pest infestations, and various other maintenance concerns - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by the end of December 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of elevator service challenges, with complaints filed in 2021 and 2022 regarding single-device operation and alternate service availability. Environmental Control Board violations from June 2022 noted elevator system problems including a disabled door zone restrictor and non-functioning phone.

There have been multiple documented failures to file required external low-pressure inspection records between 2018 and 2024, with several violations issued during this period. While there were some past pest control challenges, including documented rodent activity in 2011 and one bedbug incident in 2020, recent filings from 2021 to 2024 indicate zero infested units with successful eradication in previously affected apartments. The building overall maintains regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no active infestations in recent years.
