233 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

233 Park Place is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1919, currently owned by Bonnie Bottorf and located in Prospect Heights. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple recent unit complaints in August 2024 regarding refrigerator problems and wall/ceiling paint issues, and earlier complaints in 2024 concerning flooring problems.

The building is currently facing open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022-2023, and two active environmental control board violations from 2021 concerning non-compliance with orders related to illegal transient use. Historical data shows significant concerns about illegal hotel use in 2018-2021, including violations for inadequate fire safety systems and insufficient means of egress during that period, though some of these have been resolved. The building's management has also faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple inspections in early 2025 showing rat activity, though bait has been applied consistently. The property has open Department of Buildings (DOB) violations for failing to file required external low pressure and boiler inspection reports from 2021 and 2017, respectively.

While there have been some resolved violations related to hazardous conditions in 2019, others remain outstanding. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations were reported during the 2020-2021 period, but the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with general upkeep. Recent housing maintenance code complaints have generally been closed without confirmed inspections, indicating possible access issues for inspectors. The building's history includes various complaints and violations regarding unauthorized uses and improper conversions, though many of these were addressed through compliance orders and penalties.
