1417 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1417 Prospect Place is a 40-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Alen Rosen. The property has been experiencing persistent rodent issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints and inspections showing signs of rat activity, though most recent inspections have involved bait application.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in the first half of 2025, including four separate heat and hot water complaints between March and April 2025, representing a serious resident amenity concern. Additional maintenance issues during this period included problems with flooring/ stairs, electrical wiring, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. The building underwent a November 2024 inspection revealing several violations in Apartment A12, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, multiple water leak issues, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint.

While most of these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024, there remains an open violation regarding bathroom ceiling plaster in A12, and a September 2024 inspection noted a water leak issue in Bathroom B12 and a defective lock on its entrance door. Since 2019, the building has maintained a record of being free from bedbug infestations, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. The property was also subject to regular rodent control measures throughout 2023 and 2024, with bait applied during multiple inspections and documented rat activity, indicating ongoing pest management efforts by the building management.
