808 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

At 808 Park Place in Crown Heights, this 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement built in 1929 has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple complaints about heating and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with at least five instances in early 2025 alone, some marked as emergency complaints. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, as evidenced by multiple water supply-related complaints and inspections, including a recent May 2025 HPD inspection that reportedly could not gain access for evaluation.

Pest control has been an ongoing concern, with documented rat activity during multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 and one instance of a bedbug issue noted in 2022-2023, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no current infestations. The property has undergone several repairs and maintenance actions, including addressing various housing code violations identified during inspections. In August 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 2B, including issues with electrical outlets and water leaks, though specific repairs made were noted as completed by December 2023.

The building has also received attention for safety-related matters, such as addressing sprinkler system requirements and repairing public hall vestibule stairs. While some complaints have been resolved, there remains a pattern of access issues during inspections, with HPD inspectors frequently reporting inability to gain entry to evaluate reported problems. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no active infestations reported since 2022, and after numerous rat activity reports in 2023 and 2024, the most recent June 2025 inspection also noted rat activity.
