Augrented Insights Report for 778 Prospect Place

778 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, built in 1931 and currently owned by Hugh Gayle. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple tenant complaints documented between 2019 and 2021 regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building.

The most recent violations from September 2024 include concerns about egress obstruction by household items on the 2nd story balcony and defective self-closing doors in apartment 1B. The building has active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

While the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2024 and 2025, indicating no reported infestations, there have been documented rodent activity concerns with initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 showing rat activity, and a July 2025 inspection also revealing rat activity. The building's history shows a pattern of heating system issues, failed inspections, and periodic maintenance violations, though many of these issues have been addressed in subsequent inspections or repairs, as indicated by the "Closed" status of most violations.
