920 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

920 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 8-unit new law tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by 920 Prospect Realty LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly between November 2024 and May 2025, when multiple emergency service requests were filed and subsequently closed, including concerns with heat/hot water (specifically in apartment 1R), plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), and problems with safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors).

The building has also accumulated various code violations since 2023, particularly regarding safety systems and structural maintenance, with open violations noted in 2024 concerning locked boiler room access and ceiling defects in apartment 1R. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with inspections in late 2023 through early 2025 showing multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application, though initial inspections generally passed. Recent safety concerns were addressed with 2024 violations requiring repairs to fire retardant materials and various painting issues in the first-story public hall.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, with no reported cases. The building's management has generally responded to housing maintenance code complaints, though some inspections were unable to be completed, such as a November 2024 sewage-related complaint. While HPD inspections have typically shown that conditions did not violate housing laws, there have been multiple instances requiring repairs and corrections, particularly regarding safety equipment and building systems.
