195 Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 9-unit, 4-story building at 195 Washington Park in Fort Greene, owned by Jack Pliskin and dating back to 1879, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a pattern of heating and hot water system failures in November 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding the entire building's system, though heat and hot water were reported restored by HPD in most cases.

A recent water leak complaint from June 2024 remains notable, as an HPD inspector was unable to gain access for an inspection, and the complaint was closed due to lack of response from residents. The building has shown consistent attention to pest control, with zero reports of bedbugs or infestations on record from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective management of this issue.

However, there was some rodent activity noted in 2021, with initial inspections showing rat activity in April 2021, though a subsequent compliance inspection in April 2021 passed successfully. The property has complied with regular bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infested units or eradication efforts needed. Prior inspections from 2011 also show periods of rat activity, though these were resolved through compliance inspections, suggesting a historical pattern that has been effectively managed in recent years.
