658 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

658 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Serginio Faroul and located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently documented in January 2023 when HPD was unable to access units for inspection, and previously in November 2019, though heat and hot water were reported restored by the time of inspection.

There were also two significant violations related to the boiler system in 2018, including missing safety components and improper installation of a hot water heater, resulting in two active ECB violations with penalties totaling $4,375. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent 2024 report indicating no infested units between late 2022 and late 2023. Rodent control efforts appear generally successful, with the most recent 2025 inspection passing, though there were two failures noted in early 2024.

The property has maintained a record of passing most routine inspections, with only occasional lapses in record-keeping or immediate compliance requirements. Notable improvements include the regular filing of bedbug reports and successful rodent control measures, though the persistent heat and hot water issues and historical boiler violations suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's violation history shows a pattern of compliance once violations are issued, with most being closed promptly upon correction or inspection.
