1534 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1534 Park Place is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Sheila Vielle. The building's recent history shows several concerning safety and maintenance issues, with the most significant being a cluster of open violations related to bedbug report compliance from 2020-2024, which could indicate ongoing pest management concerns.

In July 2020, serious sprinkler system deficiencies were identified, including missing components required for proper functioning and testing, though a subsequent July 2020 DOB enforcement action regarding illegal conversion of cellar space was resolved with no penalty. The building has experienced multiple utility-related incidents, including a power outage in July 2022 and heat/hot water access issues in December 2018, with the latter resulting in HPD unable to gain apartment access for inspection. Historical violations from July 2020 also noted unauthorized modifications to fire safety systems, including concerns about fire stopping in the cellar ceiling and an illegally fastened gate at the east courtyard.

The property's documentation reveals a pattern of safety and maintenance challenges over the past several years, particularly regarding building systems such as sprinkler safety, heating, and electrical infrastructure. While many of the historical complaints resulted in closed statuses with no violations issued, the persistence of open bedbug report violations as of 2024 suggests ongoing noncompliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The most recent inspection of record, conducted in April 2024, indicated an open violation specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with similar violations noted in previous years dating back to 2020.
