801 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 801 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Wendy McClinton, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The most significant and persistent problems have been related to heat and hot water services, with multiple complaints from both individual apartments and the entire building between December 2024 and January 2025, though some were resolved promptly.

Other notable issues in early 2025 included plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, electrical issues with outlets/switches, window frame problems, and refrigerator concerns, all of which experienced inspection access challenges that resulted in closed complaints without confirmation of resolution. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges, with an ongoing mold issue documented in Class B violations from August 2021 in apartment 4A, specifically around a bathroom window frame.

There have been three consecutive annual Bed Bug Reporting filings (2021-2023) showing zero infested units, and pest control efforts have been regularly documented, with recent rodent inspections consistently passing since 2022. A violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection was issued in September 2024 and remains active as of the current date. While the building has required ongoing maintenance attention, it has generally complied with major housing regulations, though access issues during inspections have been a recurring theme in recent complaints.
