730 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The property at 730 Beverley Road in Kensington is a 2-story, 3-unit building built in 1930, currently owned by Mohammed Islam. The building has experienced recurring pest control issues, with multiple documented rat sightings throughout 2023-2024, including recent violations in April 2024 and consistent rat activity noted in compliance inspections. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including several unsanitary conditions related to pests, water leaks, and plumbing problems between 2022-2023.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2023 indicate ongoing issues with ceiling repairs, pest infestations, and safety concerns including broken window guards and non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors. A notable electrical equipment issue was documented in August 2022, with a $4,000 penalty for unauthorized electrical work observed during an improvement project. The building's history includes multiple complaints about illegal conversions and unauthorized work between 2021-2023, though many of these inspections were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access - 2nd Final Attempt." Recent inspections in 2024 have focused on rat activity, with ongoing compliance requirements from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Open violations as of the latest records include requirements for annual bedbug reporting and a specific violation from July 2023 regarding mice infestation in Apartment 2. Despite these numerous complaints and violations, many previous complaints from 2022 were either dismissed or marked as no violation warranted at the time of inspection, including issues related to illegal conversion and work without permits. While some repairs have been addressed through various inspections, many open violations remain, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
