Augrented Insights Report for 478 Prospect Place

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 478 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, constructed in 1909, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing rodent problems, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently revealing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in August 2024 did pass.

The building has also faced recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple violations in 2024 related to windows, doors, water leaks, flooring, and pest issues. Specifically, there are open violations from August 2024 regarding defective fire-retardant material in the public hallway ceiling and west wall on the 4th story, which require proper repair with similar materials. Prior violations from June 2024 in apartment 4F included electrical safety concerns with extension cords, issues with plastered surfaces and paint, broken glass at the closet door, and door replacement needs, though these were certified as corrected by July 2024.

The Department of Buildings records indicate three active violations regarding the failure to file annual low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2019, as well as an open violation from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025, showing zero instances of infestation during each period, suggesting effective pest management in this area. While recent inspections from 2024 passed for various complaints, the pattern of rodent activity and open violations related to building maintenance suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and safety systems.
