926 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

926 Prospect Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Seth Miller, located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency service requests noted between 2020 and 2025, including complaints about both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. Most recently, in January 2025 and December 2024, HPD was unable to gain access to investigate reports of heating problems.

The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, including a heavy water leak reported in November 2024 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. Safety-related issues have been documented, including violations regarding the fire escape system (defective drop ladder) and drainage strainer in August 2024, though many previous violations from earlier inspections have been closed. The property has active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file annual low-pressure inspections for multiple years from 2018 through 2023.

Recent inspections have shown some improvement in pest management, with successful rodent inspections recorded in 2025, 2024, and late 2023, though there were periods of rat activity noted in earlier inspections. The building's management has maintained annual bedbug reporting compliance with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods (2022-2024). Other maintenance issues have included door and window problems in late 2022, which HPD was able to partially verify and resolve. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and maintained bedbug compliance, the recurring heat/hot water issues and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and access for inspections.
