57 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 6-story, 54-unit building at 57 Prospect Park Southwest in Windsor Terrace, owned by Manhattan Eight Corp, has a notable maintenance history since its 1921 construction. The most pressing current issue is an ongoing Department of Health complaint from June 2023 regarding construction lead dust in common areas. The building has experienced recurring elevator service issues, with multiple complaints between late 2022 and 2023 documenting single device failure and no alternate service, culminating in a 2024 ECB violation noting several elevator safety concerns including zero clearance between car saddle and lobby door, misaligned cab mirror, inoperative phone, and missing rope gripper cover.
The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including window frame issues in 2022, multiple cooking gas-related complaints in 2022, and several apartment-specific violations in 2023-2024 affecting units 4G, 5B, 6G, 6H, and 6J regarding window repairs, fire escape maintenance, and interior finishes. The building's safety infrastructure has received attention, with multiple fire escape violations documented in 2023 requiring concrete slab installations for safe landing of drop ladders, and paint maintenance. Earlier concerns in 2022 included an illegal fastening device removal requirement in unit 6H. The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, showing no infestations.
While there have been some rodent inspection failures noted in 2019, most recent inspections and reports have not indicated persistent pest issues. The building's permit history shows proper documentation and issuance of necessary permits for work conducted in 2019. The combined records suggest an ongoing need for prompt attention to maintenance issues, particularly regarding elevator service and common area upkeep, though many historical violations have been properly addressed and closed. The building appears to maintain compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, and recent building systems violations have been documented and addressed through proper channels.
