658 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 9-unit, 4-story condominium at 658 Park Place in Crown Heights, built in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, particularly between December 2024 and April 2025. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and officially recorded regarding various building problems, including plumbing issues (affecting both toilets and bathtubs/showers), electrical problems (specifically no lighting), unsanitary conditions (pest-related issues), and wall deterioration (paint/plaster issues).

Notably, HPD inspections were attempted in response to these complaints but could not be completed, and tenants were advised to refile requests if issues persisted. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2024, consistently showing no infested units or eradicated units during the reporting periods, indicating effective management of this particular issue.

However, the rodent inspection records reveal a more concerning pattern, with three instances of rat activity recorded in 2022 (February), 2023 (February), and 2024 (February), though most inspections since then have passed. A violation was noted in March 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent years. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, the consistent bedbug reporting compliance and recent passing of rodent inspections suggest some improvement in overall pest management, though the recent spate of unresolved complaints in early 2025 warrants attention.
