1797 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
This three-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building at 1797 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Larry Waters, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past few years. The most recent activity in 2025 has shown ongoing rodent activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications between January and July 2025, following similar patterns of rodent activity and baiting since 2021. This pattern indicates a recurring pest management challenge within the building.
The property has also faced various maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2023-2024. Notable violations included a water temperature exceeding 143°F, rodent infestations (specifically in Apartment 2L), and multiple violations related to apartment conditions including pest infestations, water leaks, and window guard compliance. The building's safety infrastructure received attention due to a defective smoke detector in Apartment 3L and construction material encumbrances in the fourth-story public hall.
Additionally, a 2020 violation was recorded regarding obstructed egress through a fire escape, which was resolved through an Oath violation. The most recent bedbug reporting, from 2025, indicates zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. While the building has maintained regular compliance with various health and safety inspections, including recent bait applications for rodent control, the persistence of rodent activity over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest management.
