1331 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-family house at 1331 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Hamilton Longyear, has been facing consistency issues with construction safety compliance over the past three years. Most recently, in May 2024, there were two active violations related to an expired construction fence permit and improper fence color coding, each carrying significant penalties of $6,250 and $5,000 respectively.

The property underwent substantial work in late 2022 that resulted in multiple violations during a Department of Buildings inspection on October 11, 2022, including improper structural beam installation, missing required site safety documents, lack of fire safety equipment, and absence of sanitary facilities. While these violations have since been resolved, they indicate prior safety and compliance concerns during construction periods.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the six annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025. The two-unit, two-story building, which dates back to 1910, has demonstrated consistent ownership under Hamilton Longyear, though the recent construction-related issues suggest ongoing renovation or improvement work. The most recent building class remains classified as a two-family house, which is consistent with its original designation.
