925 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 82-unit, 6-story building at 925 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Anthony Pistilli and constructed in 1936, has experienced numerous maintenance and service issues in recent months, particularly in 2025. The property has faced multiple urgent concerns including water leaks (heavy flow), electrical problems (lighting and outlets), heating and hot water outages, and unsanitary conditions with pests - all of which were reported through 311 calls and confirmed through Housing Maintenance Code complaints. While some issues were resolved or inspected without finding violations, several complaints remain problematic, particularly regarding access issues for inspectors.

The building has an active violation related to the failure to submit required exterior wall examination documents (FISP Cycle 9B) with a penalty of $1,250, and multiple historical violations regarding the repair of self-closing doors in various apartments (2E, 4K, 4N, 4L, 6B, 6C, 6G, 6N) noted in late 2024. The property has demonstrated good pest management performance, with no documented bedbug cases since 2021 and consistent passing results on rodent inspections from 2019 through to recent inspections in 2025. However, there appear to be ongoing challenges with building systems, as evidenced by multiple heating and hot water complaints and water-related issues.

The Department of Buildings records show repeated inspection access issues for electrical wiring concerns in 2024, suggesting potential difficulties in addressing some infrastructure problems. The building's maintenance history reflects persistent challenges with basic services, particularly during 2025, with multiple service requests for heat, water, and electrical issues. While many complaints have been resolved through inspections, the pattern of inspector access issues and multiple repeated complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and communication challenges between tenants and management. The property has been relatively free of significant pest issues in recent years, with proper documentation of infestations and successful eradications when necessary.
