170 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

170 Prospect Park West is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Arnold Barkus. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including a rodent complaint in March 2023 (which was investigated and found to have no violations), and multiple plumbing-related incidents between 2022 and 2023 involving toilet issues.

Earlier problems included electrical lighting concerns in 2021 that could not be accessed for inspection, and recurring heat/hot water complaints in 2018 and 2019, which were also not able to be inspected due to access issues. The building has had three consecutive years of successful bedbug reporting from 2021-2024, with no infestation or eradication cases reported. While there were multiple violations identified in a 2019 inspection of Apartment 3L, including issues with self-closing doors, plaster surfaces, smoke detector functionality, and water leaks, these have all been addressed and closed.

Historical complaints from 2019 also noted concerns about electrical wiring and an unpermitted work complaint, both of which were closed with appropriate follow-up actions. The property has exhibited a pattern of accessibility issues during inspections, with several complaints being closed without inspection due to inability to access the affected units. Regular bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met since 2020, showing proactive pest management with no reported infestations.
