592 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

592 Prospect Place, a four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building in Crown Heights built in 1916, is currently experiencing persistent heating and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed in November 2023, all of which were linked to duplicate complaints about a building-wide condition. The building has undergone several significant inspections and faced multiple violations over recent years.

In 2024, the building was cited for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, and in November 2023, two violations were issued regarding self-closing doors at the first-story public entrance and vestibule. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2020 incident involving inadequate water supply to Apartment 4B, and 2019 violations in Apartment 1B where issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as a pest infestation, were identified.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows zero infested units across multiple years from 2019 to 2025, indicating successful eradication efforts. However, recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown consistent rat activity, with multiple bait applications recorded between November 2024 and March 2025. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing and pest control issues in the past, most recent violations have been related to door safety and bedbug reporting requirements rather than urgent habitability concerns.
