184 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

184 Prospect Park West is a 4-story, 17-unit residential building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Joseph Coury. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably in 2020 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), flooring problems, and toilet plumbing issues. While the mold and toilet complaints were investigated with no violations found, the flooring issue in Apartment C2 was deemed serious enough to warrant a Class B violation requiring repairs to broken or defective wood floors.

The building has a documented history of electrical and water infrastructure concerns, with violations in 2017 related to electrical service in Apartment 4LF and multiple plumbing issues in Apartment 4LR. These included problems with door locks, security features, and roof leaks affecting multiple apartments. More concerning was the 2017-2018 period when numerous violations were recorded, including lack of proper carbon monoxide detection equipment in Apartment 4LR and multiple issues with roof leaks affecting various rooms.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with definite rat activity recorded in 2018 and 2020, though more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no evidence of infestation. While the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past seven years, the repeated nature of the rodent control measures and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges. The most recent documented issues date back to 2020, with no significant complaints or violations recorded in the past three years, though the building's age and previous maintenance history warrant attention to long-term upkeep and infrastructure stability.
