655 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The two-story, three-unit building at 655 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Matt Bader, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2023 and continuing into 2024-2025. In September 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding plumbing and hot water issues, with a total of ten separate incidents reported to HPD, primarily involving water supply problems and heat/hot water systems. These complaints were mostly resolved within days, though they represented a concerning cluster of maintenance issues.
The building has documented Housing Maintenance Code violations from May 2023 in all three units (1, 2, and 3) relating to excessive hot water temperatures exceeding the 130-degree maximum requirement. Historical records show a pattern of hot water and plumbing issues dating back to 1993, when violations were noted regarding hot water supply problems in Apartment 1FL and water leaks in Apartment 3. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with no infestations recorded during these periods.
Rodent inspections have generally passed since 2020, though there was one report of rat activity in May 2024. Recent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 have shown improvements, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing. The building's permit history shows several permits issued in June 2019 for plumbing work, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding water systems, recent months show fewer complaints of this nature, suggesting some improvements may have been implemented.
