487 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 487 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Evan Varnai and constructed in 1907, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years.
Most notably, the building has recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though a prior violation from 2021 was closed following a filing made in April 2021 that reported no infested units during the 2019-2020 period. The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, particularly with rats, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity.
The most recent inspection in May 2025 confirmed rat activity, while prior inspections in 2023 and 2024 consistently noted similar problems, though there's been sporadic success in applying bait treatments. These persistent issues with both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent activity suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control, with the most recent five inspections showing varying levels of pest presence and control attempts.
