780 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

780 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Joel Weiss and located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a cluster of complaints in March 2024 related to mold (multiple incidents), window frame problems, ceiling issues requiring paint/plaster work, and a water leak with heavy flow.

The property has also faced safety concerns, including a July 2023 inspection of fire escape conditions, though no violations were found at that time. More recent complaints include a general janitor/supervision issue in May 2025, which HPD investigated but found no violations. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks (documented in both 2024 and 2022), and some concerning issues in apartment 3F in March 2024, including door repairs and ceiling maintenance requirements that resulted in multiple housing violation notices.

Other notable violations include an active ECB violation from 2021 regarding boiler-related issues with a $3,125 penalty, and a 2023 violation in apartment 2F for missing carbon monoxide detectors. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bed bugs, with all recent annual reports (2023-2025) indicating zero cases of infestation. Rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have generally resulted in passing grades, though there was one failure noted in July 2023 for "Other Reasons." The most recent housing maintenance code violations primarily relate to the need for door, floor, and plaster repairs in apartment 3F, and kitchen ceiling maintenance following a water leak incident in 2023-2024.
