436 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 436 Prospect Avenue in Windsor Terrace, currently owned by Eliezer Gottlieb, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2023, the building faced electrical problems resulting in inadequate lighting, for which violations were issued in April 2023. The building's heating system history shows two emergency heat/hot water complaints for the entire building in October 2018, though these were reportedly resolved promptly.

As of April 2023, multiple violations remain open, including issues with a self-closing door in the 1st story vestibule, inadequate electrical service to 4th story fixtures, and the absence of required safety notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information guides. Additionally, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. The building's bedbug reporting history shows one unit was infested and subsequently eradicated between November 2022 and October 2023, with no reported infestations in the most recent reporting period (November 2023 - October 2024).

Rodent inspections between 2017 and 2018 show mixed results, with some initial inspections indicating rat activity and failures, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. It's worth noting that the building has maintained regular bedbug and rodent reporting as required by city regulations between 2021 and 2024. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding electrical systems and building safety requirements. While some issues appear to have been addressed promptly when reported, the presence of multiple open violations as of April 2023 indicates ongoing compliance requirements that may impact resident safety and comfort.
