469 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 12-unit, 4-story residential building at 469 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Nathan Schwarcz and constructed in 1907, has experienced several notable incidents regarding building maintenance and pest management in recent years. Most recently, in 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though inspections by HPD found no violations of housing laws, resulting in the complaint's closure in May 2025.

The building's rodent management record shows concerning patterns; while three consecutive annual inspections from 2023-2025 showed alternating results between passing and detecting rat activity, the most recent June 2025 inspection indicated the presence of rats, marking the building's second rodent-related violation in its history (the first being in 2010). The property has demonstrated consistent pest management in terms of bedbug prevention, with annual reporting from 2019-2025 showing zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the previous year-long monitoring periods.

Historical inspection records indicate improved compliance with rodent and sanitation standards following earlier violations, though the recent findings suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and rodent control. While the building management has generally maintained a regular schedule of inspections and reporting, the recent pattern of rodent activity and waste management complaints suggests areas requiring continued monitoring and attention.
