1916 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story building at 1916 Prospect Place in Brownsville, owned by Steve Makowsky and constructed in 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding the building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

The property has a documented history of rodent-related challenges, particularly evident in 2014 when multiple bait applications were required following inspections that identified rat activity. While subsequent rodent inspections between 2018 and 2023 generally passed, the building's pest management history suggests ongoing vigilance is necessary. The building's maintenance record includes a plumbing-related service request in July 2022, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued.

There have been two documented complaints regarding excessive debris, one in 2019 and another in 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access in the latter investigation. A notable past incident occurred in 2018 when mice infestation was officially documented in apartment 1R, though this violation was subsequently closed. The property's housing maintenance code violations and complaints, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, represent the most pressing ongoing maintenance issue as of 2024, while the plumbing incident and historical rodent challenges highlight other areas requiring consistent management attention.
