Augrented Insights Report for 239 Prospect Place

239 Prospect Place is a 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Sanford Nager. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, with the most recent incidents in late 2024-early 2025 involving plumbing issues with a bathtub/shower. Significant maintenance issues have included multiple reports of water leaks (2022 and 2020), persistent pest problems (including reports in 2024, 2020, and an ongoing complaint from 2021), and safety concerns related to smoke detectors (2022).

The building has also faced multiple violations requiring corrections, including a 2023 violation regarding defective self-closing doors in Apartment 3M, and several violations in 2020 related to rodent infestations in Apartment 3R, which remain open. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, with some issues receiving timely resolutions while others persist. Notable improvements include the resolution of multiple water leak and paint/plaster issues in 2022, and successful closure of several violations related to bathroom conditions in both 1M and 3R.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years (2020-2024). While the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, the most recent inspection in May 2025 indicated rat activity. The property's plumbing systems have been subject to scrutiny, with a 2020 Environmental Control Board violation related to improper hot water heater installation documentation.
