746 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, six-unit building at 746 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Matt Bader, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns centered around heat and water systems. In 2025 alone, there was a heat and hot water complaint in June that was resolved shortly after HPD's response. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Additionally, there have been persistent problems with pests, particularly rodents, as evidenced by multiple DOHMH complaints and ongoing rodent activity recorded in 2025, despite bait applications throughout the year. The property has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, including water leaks, pest infestations, and interior maintenance issues. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in April 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2L, including issues with a broken door knob, rodent infestation, and water-related problems. Another concerning incident involved mold on the bathroom ceiling in 2023, which was upgraded to a Class B violation.

The building's management has maintained annual bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, consistently showing zero infested units. A 2019 construction modification involving unauthorized skylights in Apartments 2 and 3 was documented, resulting in a violation. Additionally, there are current open violations regarding inadequate public hall lighting and an undetermined violation status related to window repairs in Apartment 3L from late 2023. While some violations have been closed, including a 2019 failure to file annual boiler inspection report citation, others remain active or open as of the most recent inspection dates.
