1176 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The property at 1176 Park Place in Crown Heights is a two-story, eight-unit building owned by Moshe Baum, originally constructed in 1910. The building underwent significant changes starting in 2018-2019, when construction work was initiated to convert it from its original two-family configuration to an eight-family building, including a proposed four-story addition.

Throughout 2020-2022, the building experienced numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction work, including failure to maintain construction safety compliance, inadequate housekeeping, and issues with construction fencing. In July 2022, two significant violations were issued for occupying altered premises without a valid Certificate of Occupancy and for violating a vacate order, resulting in penalties totaling $4,800. The building's construction period from 2019 through 2022 was marked by multiple safety concerns, with violations related to inadequate roof protection, lack of overhead protection, unsafe construction measures, and various construction enforcement issues.

These violations resulted in several penalties, including $5,000 for failure to safeguard public safety and property, and $2,500 for inadequate safety measures regarding ingress and egress. More recently, between 2022 and 2025, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, with all four annual inspections showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating successful pest management. The most recent building data is from January 2025, showing no current active violations or complaints, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes and building safety regulations.
