26 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

26 Park Place is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Abe Cohen. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, most notably regarding maintenance and safety compliance. As of July 2025, there are multiple open violations from a November 2023 inspection, including problems with self-closing doors, lighting fixtures, and intercom systems specifically in apartment 2, as well as issues with building entrance doors.

The building currently has open violations related to safety notifications, including missing smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures, as well as requirements for lead-based paint hazard control documentation in apartments 2 and 3. The property has documented a history of rodent activity between 2019 and 2021, with multiple rat sighting complaints and inspections showing both rat activity and remediation efforts through bait application. Recent inspections in 2021 and 2019 confirmed rat activity, though a subsequent August 2021 compliance inspection passed.

The building has also faced challenges with accessibility for inspections and compliance checks, as evidenced by multiple "Unable To Gain Access" dispositions for Department of Buildings inspections in 2022 and 2024. While there have been various health department complaints related to a day care facility and unsanitary conditions (including mold) in previous years, most have been resolved without violations being issued. Recent reports from December 2023 and January 2023 show no bedbug activity in the building during the respective reporting periods. The property has maintained active compliance with certain maintenance requirements, including the issuance of multiple permits in 2020 and 2021 for unspecified work.
