696 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

696 Park Place is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Koren Ollivierre. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2021 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed for the entire building between November 29 and December 1, though these issues were reportedly corrected.

More recently, in July 2023, three violations were issued relating to building maintenance, including excessive hot water temperature in Basement Apartment 1, and issues with fire retardant material and ceiling paint in the vestibule, all of which were certified as corrected between July and August 2023. The building's history reveals past concerns about unauthorized use as an illegal hotel in 2019, resulting in multiple violations regarding safety systems and egress requirements which were ultimately resolved with monetary penalties totaling $6,875. The property has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest control in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings for 2022-2024.

Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with rat activity observed in August 2024 and September 2023, though most inspections indicate "Passed" status. The building's 311 service requests and housing maintenance complaints have been relatively limited, with the exception of the 2021 heat/water issues and a 2019 rodent sighting, all of which were addressed by appropriate agencies. The most recent inspection results from February 2025 showed no current rodent issues, suggesting an improvement in pest management.
