565 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 11-story, 86-unit building at 565 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, built in 1930 and currently owned by Efstathios Valiotis, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about both heavy and slow leaks noted in 2025, including two emergency water leak complaints filed in late May 2025 that required HPD intervention. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, including multiple reports of rodent sightings between 2024-2025, though recent inspections have shown some improvement with passed inspections in April 2025 and January 2025.
The property has active violations for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports throughout 2023-2024, with the most recent violation issued in August 2024. Recent inspections and complaints reveal persistent access issues for inspectors, as noted in several recent HPD cases where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct necessary evaluations. The building has an active Local Law 188 compliance inspection from July 2024, and while routine maintenance issues like door problems and unsanitary conditions have been reported, these generally resulted in resolutions or were closed due to inability to inspect.
Bedbug activity has been documented in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing minimal infestation (1 unit in 2024, 2 units in 2023). Additional historical context from 2020 shows multiple construction-related safety violations that were ultimately resolved. While the building has maintained compliance with various other inspections and requirements, the pattern of water-related issues and access problems for inspections suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
