660 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, nine-unit building at 660 Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Frantz Pierre, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there was a pattern of paint/plaster issues affecting various surfaces (walls, ceilings, doors) across multiple units, with particular attention to apartment 4, which received several violations related to lead-based paint hazards and other paint conditions between July and August 2024.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, including radiator and basin/sink problems, with at least one plumbing-related service request marked as an emergency in December 2024. The property has a history of pest-related concerns, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, most recently in December 2024. Violation records show that apartment 4 had documented infestations of mice in July 2024, and though the infestation was reportedly abated, rodent activity has continued to be a concern, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 showing rat activity.

The building's maintenance history includes a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with various service requests being closed without violations being found, though some violations related to paint conditions, roof leaks, and lead hazards in apartment 4 were issued and subsequently certified as corrected between July and August 2024. The property has generally passed recent tenant safety inspections (most recent in May 2023) and an illegal commercial use complaint in September 2020 also resulted in no violations. The building's external maintenance requirements have not been consistently met, as evidenced by an active violation issued in June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection report.
