108 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

108 Park Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, that was constructed in 1877 and is currently owned by Brian Elgart. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably in 2023, when there were multiple emergency complaints regarding door problems in May, followed by two complaints about construction dust and air quality issues in February.

These door-related issues, though officially resolved by May 7, 2023, and the construction dust complaints from February were addressed through official channels. More seriously, in May 2023, the building faced significant violations related to unauthorized construction work, including installation of new electrical components and plumbing work in Apartment 1R, along with the disturbing discovery of a missing staircase that created immediate safety hazards. These violations resulted in a $1,250 penalty for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, though an associated Environmental Control Board violation for work without a permit was resolved with no penalties.

The most recent building violation remains active as of September 2024. Despite these recent issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), and only two rodent inspections in 2009, one of which resulted in a failed inspection. The property has shown some attention to maintenance matters, as evidenced by prompt responses to multiple complaints, though the pattern of construction-related issues and safety violations in 2023 raises concerns about building maintenance practices.
