37 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The three-story two-family house at 37 Prospect Place in Park Slope, built in 1879 and currently owned by Nrl Urf Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about unauthorized construction work, with an active violation as of August 2024 related to unpermitted electrical and plumbing work throughout all floors, including exposed electrical cables and plumbing infrastructure. This structure previously faced serious safety violations in 2018 regarding inadequate fire safety measures, specifically the absence of required fire stopping in the cellar ceiling that exposed structural floor beams.
While this fire safety violation was eventually resolved, the building has continued to grapple with maintenance challenges. The property has also had recurring rodent control issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between November 2024 and January 2025, suggesting an active pest management situation. Earlier inspections in 2024 (April and May) showed rat activity, though a more recent compliance inspection in January 2025 resulted in a passing grade.
The building's inspection history shows a pattern of rodent activity from 2010 to 2025, with both compliance passes and infractions. The most recent complaints in mid-2024 resulted in a stop work order and a request for corrective action regarding unpermitted work, though the stop work order was fully rescinded in August 2024. While some violations have been resolved, the combination of ongoing maintenance issues, safety concerns, and pest control challenges suggests the property has faced multiple challenges maintaining building standards and resident comfort.
