853 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 853 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by John Mcintosh, has experienced several recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing series of violations related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded consistently from 2021 through 2024.

While these violations indicate a potential administrative oversight regarding pest management reporting, they do not necessarily reflect current pest conditions in the building. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing a mixed record of rodent activity. The most recent inspections in early 2025, and from 2024, passed without any reported issues.

However, there were several instances of rat activity noted in 2023, particularly during August, September, and February, when bait was applied as part of the control measures. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to both pest management and rodent control, with some improvements noted in recent inspections. While the property has faced these challenges, it's worth noting that the building dates back to 1931, and the recorded violations primarily relate to administrative requirements rather than directly impacting resident safety.
