821 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
821 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building from 1913 located in Crown Heights, currently owned by Samantha Stephens. The property has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past two years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in late 2024, including multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. While some inspections have noted the building passed without violations, there have been recurring patterns of rat activity, particularly evident in 2024 with several initial inspections indicating the presence of rats.
In addition to the rodent concerns, the building has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, though some were previously noted as "no violations found" during inspections. The building's maintenance history shows several significant incidents, including a safety-related fire escape violation in 2020 (now open), which cited illegal fastenings in the east fire escape passageway and household items obstructing egress from fire escapes on the 4th story balcony. Other notable complaints include a non-emergency garbage/recycling storage issue in 2023 and an immediate power outage emergency in 2022.
The property has required multiple rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent compliance inspection in March 2025 indicating passed status, following earlier inspections in 2024 that showed both rat activity and passed results. Two emergency work permits were issued in late 2020 and early 2022, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the available data. The inspection records suggest an ongoing battle with pest control compliance and maintenance issues, though there have been some periods of passing inspections. The recurring nature of the rodent complaints and the open violation status regarding bedbug reporting requirements indicate areas of concern for resident comfort and safety.
