Brooklyn school custodian Nick Pascale fiddles while PS 297 could potentially burn.

FDNY inspectors slapped Pascale with six fire-code violations on March 1 — including three for storing equipment filled with combustible fuel inside the Bedford-Stuyvesant school.

It’s a serious safety breach, experts said, because fumes from gasoline-powered equipment such as snow-blowers or lawn-mowers can ignite and start a fire.

But Pascale, the chief custodian responsible for fire-proofing the building, made light of the hazards by showing off the stack of citations on his Instagram page March 1 with the breezy comment, “Just one of those days.”

He added five hashtags including “#Custodian problems.” His followers added comments such as “Yikes!,” “Damn,” and “That looks like a lot of violations, mr. custodian.”

Parents at the 256-student school were not amused.

“That’s playing with my daughter’s life,” said Nikkie Lopez, whose child is in fourth grade.

Pascale’s Instagram page displayed other photos taken inside the school. One showed him, with another man, riding a bike down a hallway — apparently after hours.

Another showed him propping his feet up on a desk: “My #View for the next two days. . . #SnowMoney #OT #CustodianLife #NYC #DeptofEd #Blizzard of 2016.”

Other photos poked fun at an empty toilet paper roll and a damaged classroom piano.

“That’s somebody everybody trusts goofing around and not taking it seriously,” said Crystal Jacobs, whose 4-year-old daughter Jade is in Pre-K. “Ha ha, real funny.”

Pascale, whose job title is custodian-engineer, took down his Instagram page while The Post was viewing it. He did not return messages.

Principal James Brown refused to speak with a reporter.

Toya Holness, a city Department of Education spokeswoman, said the three other violations were for “excessive decorations,” a fire hazard; faulty or missing emergency lighting (battery-powered lights used in a power outage); and failing to display a certificate assuring that curtains, drapes and other hangings are flame-resistant.

“Safety comes first and we are treating this with the utmost seriousness — a majority of the violations have already been addressed and the school has taken immediate steps to resolve the remaining violations,” Holness said.

As for Pascale’s social-media antics, Holness said, “We’re looking into it and will ensure it’s appropriately addressed.”

But a source remarked, “Maybe spending less time on Instagram and more time making sure the school is safe would be a good idea.”

Pascale, who joined the DOE last August, worked at PS 8 in Staten Island before moving to PS 297 in November, officials said. His base salary is $72,620.

But the job can afford plenty of overtime opportunities, due to contracted work rules. School custodian-engineers make an average of $140,000 a year, including OT, said Tim Hoefer, executive director of the Empire Center, a watchdog group that collects government payroll data.
