718 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-family home at 718 Beverley Road in Kensington, owned by Rafiqul Islam, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2022. Most recently, in February 2025, there were violations issued by HPD regarding paint and plaster conditions on doors/frames and windows/frames. In recent years, the building has faced multiple significant challenges, including a mold issue (November 2023) and emergency complaints for heat/hot water (March 2022) and electrical power outage (March 2022), though inspections for these complaints did not result in violations.

The 2nd-floor apartment appears to still have unresolved maintenance issues, with open C-class violations from March 2022 related to inadequate hot and cold water supply, and inadequate electric service. Additionally, there have been some concerning complaints and violations recorded with the Department of Buildings. In late 2023, there were investigations into illegal conversion and unauthorized construction work, with a violation served in November 2023 regarding work beyond approved plans/permits.

An active Environmental Control Board violation from November 2023 indicates non-compliance with permit sign-off requirements, resulting in a $6,250 penalty. While there was a historical rodent inspection conducted in April 2019 that passed, the more recent building conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property is classified as a 2-family house and is two stories tall, having been built in 1930. The frequent nature of the complaints and violation history indicates potential ongoing maintenance concerns, though not all reported issues have resulted in violations.
