740 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

740 Park Place is a four-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Adam Raczynski and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most concerning being multiple instances of pest infestations, including rodent and bug problems, particularly in apartment 2R where violations were issued for both mice and roaches in October 2024. The building suffered from significant plumbing and sanitation issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations for water leaks and mold in 2023-2024, and a building-wide heat/hot water outage in October 2024 affecting multiple units.

Recent complaints about rodent conditions were filed in March 2025, though inspections have generally resulted in "passed" status with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has an active illegal conversion complaint as of May 2025, and recent concerns about lead paint hazards were documented in 2024 violations affecting apartment 2R. The building's systems have shown periods of instability, with a power outage reported in July 2023 and multiple heat and water-related complaints.

Despite these challenges, the building reported no bedbug infestations in its required annual filings between 2022 and 2024. Two Department of Buildings violations remain open from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspection records for 2021 and 2022. While the property has generally passed rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, the presence of multiple pest-related complaints and ongoing sanitation issues suggests persistent maintenance challenges.
