328 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

328 Prospect Avenue, a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building in South Slope owned by Eugene Zhitkov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. The most pressing concerns emerged in December 2024, with multiple heat, plumbing, and infrastructure problems reported through 311 service requests and subsequent Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Apartment 2L has been particularly affected, with documented problems including a broken bathroom washbasin connection, defective kitchen plaster surfaces, missing smoke detector, various maintenance issues including plumbing problems, mold conditions, and water leaks in both the kitchen and bathroom areas. The building also experienced heat and hot water issues during December 2024, with inspectors unable to gain access to verify conditions. The property has a concerning history of maintenance challenges, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2015 failing for "Other Reasons," though a 2011 inspection passed.

Bedbug reports have consistently shown no infestations over the past eight years, with the most recent filings in 2023-2024 reporting zero infested or eradicated units. While some violations from the December 2024 inspections have been closed with certifications in early 2025, including repairs to plaster surfaces, smoke detector installation, and various other maintenance issues, the single remaining open violation involves repair work needed on the bathroom washbasin connection. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and recent pattern of maintenance issues suggest ongoing upkeep challenges, though the regular bedbug inspection reports indicate no history of infestations.
