1608 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1608 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Schlomo Schapira, was constructed in 1910 and has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention. In January 2022, multiple violations were documented during inspections, including problems with water temperature consistency and defective fixtures in apartments 1B and 2F, issues with bathtub caulking in units 1B and 2B, wall surface damage in unit 1B, and various safety concerns in unit 2F including non-functioning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with the entrance door fitting.

These violations were subsequently certified as corrected by February 2022. A significant safety-related issue was noted in January 2022 with a defective concrete tread at the building's front entrance. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2020 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units and demonstrating compliance with reporting requirements.

Additionally, the property underwent two exterior work permit issuances in early 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. Historical records show that the building passed rodent inspections conducted in March 2017, indicating attention to pest management. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows continued compliance with no infestations reported during the 2023-2024 period.
