181 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 17-unit building at 181 Prospect Park West in South Slope, owned by Kimiya Khosravani, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of 2025, the building has open violations from late 2023 in apartment 13 related to pest infestation, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector issues, and various repair needs including radiator, plaster, and paint work. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and unsanitary conditions between 2018 and 2024.

Additional concerns include a 2024 smoking/vaping complaint in a smoke-free area and a November 2023 pest infestation notification, though previous bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show no ongoing infestations. The building's history reveals periods of construction and maintenance activity, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to building entrance doors and various safety systems. In 2021, there was a scaffold-related violation with a $2,500 penalty that was resolved.

Earlier issues from 2019 included heavy flow water leaks and heat/hot water problems that went uninspected due to access issues. The property has maintained a mostly pest-free record since 2020, with regular inspections showing compliance except for the recent concerns in apartment 13. While the building has had various maintenance code violations over the years, many have been addressed promptly through permits and corrective actions, though some recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
