208 Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY 11205

208 Washington Park is a 10-unit, 4-story converted Class A residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, built in 1870 and currently owned by Zoe Twitt. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaints filed in November 2023, suggesting this remains an unresolved systemic problem. Multiple building-wide heat/hot water complaints have been documented since 2019, with similar ongoing issues noted in December 2022 and an emergency violation for lack of heat/hot water in November 2022.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, particularly in November 2020 when multiple violations were recorded regarding bathrooms, sinks, and toilets. A concerning open violation exists as of November 2023 for a missing smoke detector in Apartment 3B, while several violations from a June 2021 inspection remain open, including requirements for proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, as well as notifications regarding gas leak procedures and tenant rights. The building's maintenance history includes a documented failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, though this violation was dismissed in July 2023.

Inspection records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past five filing periods from 2019 to 2024. Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2011 indicated past rat activity, with bait applied in response to inspections during this period, though no recent rodent issues have been reported. While the building maintains active bedbug reporting compliance and shows no recent pest-related complaints, the persistent heating system problems and open violations regarding safety equipment and notifications suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
