275 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-unit, three-story building at 275 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights, built in 1883 and currently owned by 275 Prospect Heights LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and health compliance issues over the past five years. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple reports of rat sightings, with inspections revealing violations requiring follow-up, according to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene records.

In 2021, a series of complaints regarding unauthorized work in the occupied multiple dwelling were filed, with inspectors repeatedly unable to gain access to the property to verify the claims, though one inspection did result in a partial stop-work order. The building has active violations dating from March 2022, and in December 2021, there was at least one instance of failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, though this particular violation was dismissed in October 2022.

Despite these concerning issues, more recent records show no reported infestations of bedbugs in the past three monitoring periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting successful pest management in this regard. The most recent bedbug filings (2024 and 2023) indicate zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units, which is a positive indicator of current building conditions. The multiple housing violations and service requests regarding rodent issues from 2019-2021 suggest past challenges with building maintenance and pest control, while the 2021 complaints about unauthorized work and stop work order violations imply potential concerns about construction oversight and resident safety during that period.
