374 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 374 Parkside Avenue property, a 4-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1931 in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and currently owned by Earl Davis, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant concern being a rodent infestation identified in September 2024, though subsequent inspections in October 2024 resulted in passing compliance. From late 2018 through early 2019, the building faced multiple heat and hot water problems, with several emergency complaints filed and corresponding violations issued, particularly affecting the 1st and 2nd floor apartments.

Building-wide heating and hot water deficiencies were documented between October 2018 and March 2019, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) noting access issues during some inspections but still being able to verify inadequate conditions in certain instances. Other maintenance issues during this period included electrical problems, with violations concerning lighting in the public hallways and power outages. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues, with the most recent rodent complaint in 2024 following a series of similar inspections in 2018-2019.

While many violations from the 2018-2019 period were eventually closed, including specific violations related to inadequate heat and hot water in various apartments, the property has experienced periodic challenges with basic services. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of compliance following initial failures, with the last recorded inspection in October 2024 showing compliance status. The property has generally passed rodent inspections since 2018, though initial inspections often resulted in identifying some level of rodent activity or related concerns.
