1097 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1097 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mendel Gold, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout winter 2025, with three emergency complaints in January alone regarding lack of building-wide heat/hot water. The building has several active violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 2A, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, water leaks, defective bathroom fixtures, and problems with plastered surfaces and tiles.
Recent infrastructure concerns are documented through active Environmental Control Board violations from May 2023 regarding rusted gas piping and cracked cast iron sanitary piping in the basement, each carrying a $3,125 penalty. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with multiple HPD complaints in late 2024 including issues with doors, mold, and various plumbing and appliance problems.
There were three separate instances of heat/hot water complaints in November 2024, and multiple inspection attempts by city agencies where access was not granted. Previous years show a pattern of complaints about work being done without proper permits, with inspections in 2020 and 2021 unable to gain access. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record over the past four reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, with no infested units reported in any of the annual inspections.
