1322 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 20-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1322 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and owned by Prospect 26 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple complaints and inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, including recent bait applications in July 2025.

The building has also faced multiple sanitary condition complaints related to garbage and recycling storage in 2025, with inspections finding either no violations or similar issues being reported previously. Earlier violations from late 2024 include two Class C complaints from apartment 3B regarding inadequate heat supply, and multiple violations concerning fire safety systems and electrical wiring, particularly affecting common areas and apartment 2A. The building's history includes plumbing emergencies and water leak issues in April 2025, and serious safety concerns such as an open Class B violation regarding missing smoke detectors in apartment 4B from November 2024.

While there were three construction-related complaints in 2018 regarding work contrary to permits, these were ultimately found to be unsubstantiated. The building's ownership has been compliant with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, consistently reporting zero infested units. Recent Department of Buildings activity includes an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file required inspection records, and a penalty for failure to protect adjoining properties from 2018, though this has since been resolved.
