809 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

809 Park Place is a 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1905 and currently owned by Jay Lubin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in 2024 alone (most recently in December 2024), and similar problems reported in 2021. There were multiple housing maintenance code violations identified in April 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1B, including issues with the ceiling, door, cabinetry, sink, and plaster surfaces, though some violations were subsequently closed in August 2024.

The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in 2024 (three units affected) and previous years showing similar patterns. Rodent activity remains a significant concern, with violations observed in July 2025 and varying results from inspections between 2022 and 2025, though some inspections have shown compliance. Additional historical context includes an electrical power outage incident in September 2023, various plumbing and general maintenance issues in 2024, and past violations from 2021 in apartment 3D involving mold, pest control, and safety equipment deficiencies.

The building has undergone some renovation attempts, as evidenced by a 2018 ECB violation for unpermitted work on the fourth floor, though this was later resolved with a $625 penalty. The property has consistently shown high occupancy turnover in terms of pest management, with multiple units affected by various infestations over the years, including four units in 2019 and three units in 2024, though all were reported as successfully eradicated. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with some showing active rodent presence requiring bait application.
