289 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

This three-story, four-unit old law tenement building at 289 Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace, owned by Teena Caccamo, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, the building has been cited for multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024, and there are ongoing concerns about building cleanliness and maintenance.

The property has documented repair issues that include problems with a fire-retardant wall in the public hall (2022), window maintenance in Apartment 2F (2022), and general cleanliness of the public hall stairs. A significant heat and hot water complaint was filed in December 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Looking back through the building's history, there have been multiple incidents requiring city agency intervention, including rat sightings reported to the Department of Health in 2020, window frame issues in 2022 (which were inspected but resulted in no violations), and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in 2019 that resulted in violations. The building's maintenance record shows periodic inspections and violations across various categories, including emergency and non-emergency issues, though the most serious recent concerns appear to be centered around the open violations for bedbug reporting and building cleanliness. While there was one period of heat and hot water concerns, those specific issues appear to have been resolved, though access difficulties were noted during the inspection.
