455 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, eight-unit building at 455 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Wayne Wahala, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerning lack of heat/hot water access in late 2024. The building has a documented pattern of electrical problems, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were issued for wiring issues and inadequate lighting, with inspections revealing problems in both common areas and unit 4L.

That unit also underwent various repairs during 2021-2024, including addressal of lighting fixtures, flooring, plaster damage, and an infestation issue documented in 2021. More recent violations from 2024 include the removal of an illegal fastening device at the entrance door and inadequate vestibule lighting.

The building has maintained a stable pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), though there was a rat activity notice in June 2025, following two consecutive years of passed inspections in 2023 and 2024. While some maintenance issues have been consistently addressed and closed through the Housing Preservation and Development Department, such as violations related to various structural and electrical problems, the pattern of heating and electrical complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building has also demonstrated compliance with bedbug eradication protocols, reporting zero infestations across all recent annual filings.
