694 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

694 Park Place is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, owned by Louis Rosemond and constructed in 1901. The building has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with open violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. In 2021, there was a bedbug-related violation that was subsequently closed.

The property underwent significant construction work in 2022, which resulted in multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations including unauthorized work in occupied units, safety hazards such as missing guardrails and handrails, and an active job site without proper construction fencing that presented safety concerns. One of these violations incurred a $2,500 penalty related to safety issues in September 2022, though records indicate it was eventually resolved. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management practices.

The property has undergone routine construction safety enforcement sweeps throughout 2022, with multiple inspections conducted in August and September of that year, though most were found to have no violations warranting action or were closed without significant penalties. All Housing Maintenance Code violations are being tracked, with the most recent being from 2024, while the bedbug infestation history filed for the period of 2019-2020 showed no reported infestations, though this was prior to the current open violations. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 also passed, maintaining the building's record of effective pest management.
