136 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The six-story, 20-unit tenement building at 136 Prospect Park West, owned by 136 PPW Residences LLC and constructed in 1903, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of plumbing and heat/hot water problems in January 2022, with multiple complaints indicating building-wide issues. Specifically, violations were recorded regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply in apartment 6A, and emergency complaints were filed concerning building-wide heat and hot water problems.

The building also faced pest-related challenges in 2022, with complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, though inspections could not be completed due to access issues. More recently, in October 2024, there was a complaint about bees/wasps that remains in progress as of October 2025. The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, particularly regarding bedbug management, with the most recent three years (2022-2025) showing no reported infestations or eradication efforts across all units.

However, there are current concerns about facade maintenance, as evidenced by an active ECB violation from December 2023 regarding improper placement of A/C units on the fire escape at the 2nd and 3rd floors, with a penalty imposed for this violation. The building has maintained compliance with filing annual bedbug reports since 2019, though there was a violation issued in 2021 for failure to do so. While many historical complaints have been resolved, including plumbing and heating issues from 2022, the persistence of more recent issues like the bee problem and the active facade violation suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
