1677 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-story, three-unit building at 1677 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Aron Halpert, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months (January to March 2025). The most significant recent problems involve multiple complaints regarding electric/gas range appliances, with several complaints filed between January and February 2025, including a March 2025 incident that received immediate emergency status. Additionally, there have been flooring issues reported on multiple occasions during the same period, though some inspections were unable to be completed due to lack of access.

More concerning is a cabinet issue and a ceiling problem reported in February 2025 that resulted in violations being issued. The building's heating system also faced challenges in January 2025, though these were verified as corrected by HPD. The building has a history of boiler-related problems, with two defective/inoperative boiler complaints filed in 2023 and early 2025, resulting in corrective action requirements in both instances.

While there was one illegal conversion complaint filed in 2018, it was resolved with no violation found during the inspection. The property underwent a bedbug inspection in 2023, covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022, with no reported infestations or re-infested units during that time. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, most recent complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections, though some required follow-up action due to access issues during inspections.
