147 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 16-unit, 4-story building at 147 Prospect Park SW in Windsor Terrace, owned by Mathew Barnett, has been in operation since 1931 as a New Law Tenement structure. The property currently has several open violations from 2021, including issues with unsafe piping across pathways leading to the roof gooseneck ladder, and improper storage of garbage bins in passageways.

These violations are classified as Class B, indicating they pose safety concerns. The building also has technical and safety-related issues affecting Apartment 5, documented in 2016, including the need for repairs to plaster surfaces, a defective bathtub, electrical outlet problems, and a cockroach infestation, though these violations were placed in "Open" status with no recent updates. Most recently, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection.

Fortunately, on the positive side, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with eight consecutive annual reports (2019-2024) showing zero instances of infestation or re-infestation. Historical compliance matters from 2016 were addressed in March 2018, including proper posting of smoke detector requirements and housing information guide notices. The building's permit history shows an external window-related permit was issued in November 2019, though it's unclear from the available data whether this work was completed as planned.
