744 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
744 Park Place is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1929 and currently owned by Rufina Litvak. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring in early 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, along with various housing maintenance code violations including issues with stairs, plumbing, safety concerns, and unsanitary conditions.
During 2020, there were also concerns about fire escape obstruction due to household items on multiple floors, which was classified as an immediate emergency. In 2023-2024, the building faced several violations related to external low-pressure inspection requirements, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining active as of now. There have been consistent issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 showing intermittent rat activity, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed.
The building has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record from 2021-2025, showing zero infested units during the past four reporting periods, indicating successful management of this specific issue. While there were construction-related complaints in 2021-2023, these were primarily related to access issues for inspectors and work permit concerns, with the most recent construction-related stop work orders from May 2023 being fully rescinded in December 2023. The property has undergone regular inspections and has shown improvements in some areas, particularly in pest control management, though some structural and maintenance issues remain, as evidenced by open violations regarding exterior painting and building maintenance requirements.
