1855 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1855 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Ariel Yousefzadeh and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable maintenance and pest control issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the building's documented history of rodent problems in 2022, with multiple inspections in July and August of that year reporting rat activity and other violations, culminating in a July 2022 DOHMH rat sighting complaint that resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The property has also faced recurring regulatory compliance issues related to bedbug reporting, with four Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 citing failure to file the required annual bedbug reports. While the most recent bedbug filings for 2023-2024 show no infested units, prior inspections suggested ongoing monitoring was necessary. In 2024, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt to inspect.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive management, with multiple violations being documented over successive years rather than timely resolution. However, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent filings, indicating some improvement in that specific area of concern. The property has experienced intermittent issues with both rodent and pest control compliance, which have required multiple inspections and follow-up actions by city agencies.
