70 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11215
70 Prospect Park SW is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Laurie Diamond. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple documented complaints in 2024 and 2021 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recent concerns include a mold issue reported in December 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect properly, though this was subsequently closed in February 2025.
The building has also faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges in recent years, including violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, heavy water leaks, and various door/window issues in 2022. Notably, there were several violations identified in May 2024 regarding self-closing doors in different areas of the building, including the compactor closet and cellar laundry room, as well as issues with a refrigerator in the cellar. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service between 2019 and 2023, including inspections that often found no violations at the time.
The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pests, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, though there was one documented case in 2019. Recent inspection results have shown some concerning patterns, including a water supply issue in a third-floor bathroom in May 2024 and various types of housing code violations being issued during inspections. While most violations have been closed after being certified, there remains one open violation from May 2024 regarding access to the building's heating system on the first story. The property has passed rodent inspections, and there is no outstanding balance from previous Environmental Control Board violations related to the elevator system, which had incurred a penalty of $3,125 in 2019 that has since been resolved.
