871 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

871 Park Place, a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Crown Heights owned by Hakyong Kim and constructed in 1895, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are two water leak complaints filed in February 2023 (one described as "heavy flow" and another as "slow leak") that remained unresolved as of June 2023 due to inspectors being denied access for evaluation.

These water-related issues, given their persistence and unresolved status, could significantly impact resident comfort and building maintenance. The building's recent history shows a pattern of attention to pest management, with mandatory bedbug reporting filed regularly since 2019 showing zero infestation cases across all reporting periods, indicating effective pest control management. However, there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2022 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this violation has since been marked as resolved.

Additionally, the building has been subject to regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 generally passing, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in June 2022. Most notably, as of June 2025, there is an active complaint regarding illegal conversion that remains unresolved. This building has demonstrated compliance with most health and safety standards, though the water leak situations and the recently filed illegal conversion complaint warrant monitoring for future developments.
