82 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 7-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 82 Prospect Place in Park Slope, owned by Wrenford Phillips, has a documented history of various maintenance issues since 2021. The most recent complaint, filed in July 2024, concerned unsanitary conditions related to pests, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. There is a notable pattern of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints documented in 2021 and 2024, though all were closed without violations being issued.

The building has also faced several significant maintenance challenges, including a heat and hot water issue in November 2022 (classified as emergency), and various complaints regarding flooring, stairs, cabinets, and wall conditions in August 2021, all of which were closed without violations. Of particular concern are the open lead paint hazard violations from November 2022 in Apartment 1, affecting multiple surfaces including doors and ceilings, which require remediation according to code. The building's safety compliance has been addressed through several inspections in 2022, with violations related to posting required safety notices being resolved.

While there have been complaints about gas hook-up/piping and egress issues in August 2021, inspections were unable to gain access to verify these concerns. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units, though the building had documented rodent activity in 2018 and 2021, as confirmed by rodent inspections. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have focused on administrative compliance matters rather than emergency repairs or maintenance issues, suggesting some improvement in building conditions as noted by the closure of various violations.
