134 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

134 Prospect Place is a five-story, ten-unit residential building constructed in 1889 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Ronald Mclaren. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2018 and early 2019 reporting lack of these essential services throughout the entire building, though inspections revealed these services had been restored by the time of HPD response.

More recent concerns include pest-related issues, with a 2021 complaint about unsanitary conditions (pests) that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access. While this complaint was closed, it was not properly resolved according to HPD's documentation. The building has had several important safety-related violations, most notably in 2018 when both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment E1 were found to be defective (though these were repaired by June 2018).

A gas leak procedure notice violation from the same year remains open and requires proper posting in common areas. Between 2021 and 2025, though there were violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements (evidenced by three Class A violations between 2018-2022), recent bedbug filings show no infestation (most recent filing in December 2024 confirmed zero infested units). The building underwent rodent inspections in 2016, 2018, and 2019, with all but one initial inspection (August 2016) passing, suggesting some rodent activity during that period but improved conditions in subsequent years.
