816 Washington Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 8-unit residential building at 816 Washington Ave in Prospect Heights, owned by Larry Hirscfield and completed in 2016, has experienced ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with heating and water systems. Between December 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with the most recent complaints recorded in late May 2025 being categorized as emergencies. The building has also faced significant water-related problems, as evidenced by two emergency water leak complaints in May 2025 and previous violations related to hot water supply issues.
Additional maintenance concerns during 2025 included electrical problems (with one complaint regarding no lighting in May 2025) and door/window issues. The property has demonstrated some environmental challenges, with inspections revealing rat activity in 2023 and 2025, though it passed rodent inspections in other years. The Department of Buildings records show several violations that have been resolved, including issues with mold in Apartment 2B (October 2024) and various door-related violations in the cellar area (September 2024). The building's early years (2018-2019) were marked by construction-related complaints and issues with safety compliance, including problems with sidewalk sheds and scaffold safety, though these were generally resolved quickly through inspections.
The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug monitoring, with no reported infestations since at least 2019. While there were some environmental control board violations regarding construction supervision and building tagging in 2019 and 2021, these were resolved with imposed penalties. Current open violations from June 2023 related to low-pressure inspection filings remain active. The building underwent typical construction-related inspections and received various permits between 2018-2019 for different building works as part of its construction project completion process.
