591 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

591 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Crespa LLC. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2025, with eight heat and hot water complaints documented between January and April, including three consecutive complaints in April 2025 alone. These heating problems have consistently required HPD intervention, though in some instances, conditions were reportedly corrected prior to inspection.

Additionally, there are two recorded water leak complaints from early 2025, though inspections found no violations of housing laws. The building's June 2024 inspection revealed multiple maintenance issues in Apartment 1, including water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and an infestation of roaches and mice, all of which were subsequently addressed. Apartment A1 on the 2nd floor was cited for several repairs needed to address plaster surfaces and a lead paint hazard in June 2024.

The property has maintained an active bedbug eradication program, with reports in 2024 showing successful eradication of all affected units, though two units were noted as infested in the most recent 2024 report. Rat activity has been documented in multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, though previous inspections in 2024 had recorded rat activity. The building has also experienced a gas utility referral in 2020, though access issues prevented inspection.
