991 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 4-story, 33-unit building at 991 President Street in Crown Heights, owned by Pankaj Prasad, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding water-related issues. Most notably, there have been multiple water leak complaints and violations in 2025, including both slow and heavy flow leaks, with at least one instance in April 2025 where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection.

The building also has recurring interior maintenance issues, with several paint and plaster violations documented in 2025 affecting walls and ceilings. Apartment 3D has been particularly affected, with multiple violations issued in 2024 for water leaks affecting the ceiling, broken plastered surfaces, and evidence of rodent infestations (specifically mice and roaches), though these infestations were certified as abated in August 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections showing mixed results, with "Rat Activity" reported in both 2020 and 2018, though more recent inspections in 2022 and 2025 passed without issues.

The building's maintenance history also shows some compliance with the City's requirements, including regular bedbug reporting showing no infestations in the past three years, though there was one reported case in 2020 that was subsequently eradicated. Recent Department of Buildings records indicate two "Failure to Maintain" violations in 2023-2024, and there appears to be an active violation from 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. The property has undergone some improvements, as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2020, and inspections have shown varying degrees of compliance with housing maintenance codes.
