499 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

499 Park Place, a 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Crown Heights and currently owned by Barbara Spence, has experienced several notable maintenance events in recent years. Most recently, in April 2024, there was a heating/hot water emergency reported and subsequently resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) within one day of the complaint.

The building has faced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving three violations between 2021 and 2023 (April 2021, March 2022, and March 2023), though these violations were classified as "Closed" after the necessary corrections were presumably made. However, the bedbug reporting filings from 2021 through 2024 indicate no actual infestations occurred during the specified periods, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units reported in the most recent filings from December 2023 and December 2024. The building has maintained good standing in terms of rodent control, with three consecutive successful inspections in 2023 (May 18), 2024 (May 17), and most recently in 2025 (June 16), all passing with no issues noted.

While the heating/hot water issue in 2024 represents the only recent service disruption, it's worth noting that the building has demonstrated compliance with various housing maintenance requirements since then. The property has shown improvement in bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past three years and timely submissions of the required annual reports. The recent rodent inspection results further support the building's current status as being well-maintained in terms of basic habitability standards, though the heating system incident in 2024 may warrant monitoring for any potential recurrence of similar issues.
