486 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story New Law Tenement building at 486 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Uri Cohen and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, in February 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, as well as electrical outages, though inspections found these conditions did not violate housing laws.

The building currently has an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though previous years' submissions between 2019 and 2022 consistently reported zero infestation cases. The property underwent electrical and plumbing work in July 2018, with both permits being issued, and while there was one building-related complaint in 2018, it was unsubstantiated.

Recent inspections regarding building conditions show mixed results, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 failing for unspecified "Other Reasons," while previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 had passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with no reported cases in the last five annual filings, though the outstanding violation for failure to submit the 2024 report creates a regulatory compliance concern. The property's infrastructure appears to be experiencing some contemporary challenges, as evidenced by the recent heating and electrical issues in early 2025, which were promptly addressed though not conclusively resolved according to HPD records.
