217 Parkville Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-unit, three-story building at 217 Parkville Avenue in Kensington, owned by Rafiqul Bhuiyan, has undergone several inspections and faced multiple violations over the past five years, though many appear to be promptly addressed. The most recent inspection in March 2023 noted a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved, as subsequent filings show no infestation (most recently filed in May 2025).

In 2022, there were several important safety concerns addressed, including a Class C violation regarding defective self-closing doors leading to the cellar, and multiple Class A violations including missing electrical outlet safety caps, an unauthorized suspended drop ceiling in the cellar, and the need to file bedbug reports - all of which were certified as closed by February 2022. Earlier violations from 2020-2021 highlighted several safety compliance issues that were subsequently addressed, including requirements to post various safety notices in common areas regarding gas leak procedures, heat system access, carbon monoxide detection, and smoke detector requirements - all of which were certified as resolved.

While the building has experienced consistent bedbug reporting requirement violations from 2021-2023, this pattern has been rectified, with the most recent May 2025 filing showing no infestations. The property has shown a pattern of addressing violations through required certifications, though the frequency of bedbug report violations suggests this was an ongoing administrative challenge rather than a direct reflection of pest issues, as evidenced by the consistent "0" infestation counts in all bedbug filings since 2021.
