855 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
855 Prospect Place is a three-story, eight-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and built in 1898. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with three separate complaints registered in March 2025 alone, though all were reportedly resolved upon HPD's follow-up. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including several housing maintenance code violations, particularly concerning unit 2F. These include open violations from 2021-2022 related to floor safety, pest control (mice infestation), and maintenance of mechanical systems.
The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, with multiple inspections between 2022-2025 showing varying results, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2024, as well as a previously open violation from 2024 requiring proper gas leak notices to be posted. The property has experienced various infrastructure and maintenance issues over recent years, including complaints about flooring, lighting, plumbing, and general maintenance issues in 2024, though most were resolved following HPD inspections. The building's history includes several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate complaints, raising concerns about maintenance accessibility.
More recent improvements include a consistent pattern of successful rodent inspections in 2025, suggesting progress in pest control efforts. The bedbug reporting for 2024-2025 indicates no current infestations, following a period in 2022-2023 where seven units were treated. While the property has shown some improvements in recent years, particularly in heat/hot water response times and pest control, the active violations related to low-pressure inspections and recurring heat system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and conversion history have likely contributed to the various maintenance issues observed, with many complaints relating to basic infrastructure systems such as heating, plumbing, and electrical systems.
