1163 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

1163 Prospect Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ray Day. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most concerning being a carbon monoxide detector violation in November 2024 that resulted in HPD inspections and violations. The building has also faced recurring sanitation challenges, particularly with garbage/recycling storage, evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections between 2023 and 2024, though not all resulted in violations.

Apartment 3F is currently subject to multiple open violations from November 2024, including issues with the self-closing door, window guards, and various repair needs in the bathroom, though some violations have been certified for correction. The building has a history of heating system complaints, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints in late 2023 and another complaint for the entire building in March 2023, indicating potential heating system reliability concerns. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed rodent activity, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing violations in June 2024.

The building's security and safety systems have also been a focus, with multiple violations related to door functionality and security. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, the building's overall maintenance record shows consistent pattern of tenant-reported issues, particularly concerning building systems and sanitation. Despite some violations being addressed promptly, including door repairs and other maintenance issues, the property has maintained open violations as of 2024 requiring further attention.
