691 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 691 Prospect Place building in Crown Heights, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Xiang Li, has experienced multiple maintenance and repair issues in recent years. Most notably, there are persistent pest control challenges, with three separate pest-related complaints documented in April 2025 alone, as well as multiple inspections revealing rodent activity in 2022 and 2024, though more recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The property has also faced various maintenance concerns, including ventilation system problems, mold issues, and intercom system malfunctions reported in mid-2025.

In 2024, significant violations were documented in apartment 3G, including missing smoke detectors, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing issues, though some of these have since been resolved. The building's infrastructure has shown recurring concerns, particularly with its elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2023 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, leading to active violations with associated penalties. Historical records show earlier issues with electrical wiring in 2020 and 2021.

While the property has maintained regular rodent inspections with recent passes, the presence of pests in multiple units and ventilation/mold issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with most being closed after inspections, though several open violations and complaints remain dated between 2023-2024, particularly related to pest control and ventilation systems. The property has successfully demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 to 2024, showing no documented infestations.
