220 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

220 Park Place is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1910. The building, currently classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B, has experienced persistent issues with compliance and maintenance. Most notably, there is an ongoing violation (since 2021) regarding the annual bedbug report filings, with the most recent citation in April 2024.

Between 2017 and 2019, the building faced multiple rodent control challenges, with documented rat activity in late 2019 and inspections showing necessary bait application. The property underwent significant construction work between 2018-2019, during which several violations were recorded for unsafe practices, including multiple instances of failing to adhere to stop-work orders and construction work beyond approved plans. These violations resulted in substantial fines, including a $12,500 penalty for failure to safeguard persons and property during construction operations. The building's violation history shows a pattern of issues related to maintenance and regulatory compliance.

While some violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved, including several concerning the failure to file boiler inspection reports and external low pressure inspections, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violation warrants attention. The property has demonstrated efforts to address construction-related violations through proper permit filings between 2018-2020, with multiple construction-related permits issued. Recent years have seen fewer active complaints compared to the 2018-2019 period, when numerous construction-related and safety compliance issues were documented. As of October 2023, there remains one open violation regarding bedbug report filings from 2024, though it's worth noting that several similar violations from previous years were eventually addressed and closed.
