1936 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1936 Prospect Place is a three-unit, three-story New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville and constructed in 1899, currently owned by Arihay Kaikov. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past year, with the most pressing concern being a recurring lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and January 2025.

The building also faces significant infrastructure challenges, including water damage and plumbing issues in apartment 1F, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in December 2024 related to water leaks, electrical problems, and heating system deficiencies. Additional concerns include a collapsed ceiling in the boiler room with disconnected flue pipe (violation issued December 2023), sagging floors in apartment 1 (violation issued December 2023), and multiple infrastructure violations including gas utility issues and building stability concerns documented through Department of Buildings complaints.

The property has a documented history of pest management challenges, with multiple rodent inspections showing rat activity throughout 2023-2024, though there have been recent efforts to address this issue through bait application. The building's current violations, as of October 2023, encompass various issues including improper gas connections in the cellar, which carries an active penalty of $3,125, and structural concerns such as floor sagging and ceiling collapse with associated penalties totaling $8,250. These ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, particularly regarding heating systems, water damage, and structural integrity, represent the most significant issues affecting resident quality of life in recent months.
