149 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11218
This four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building located at 149 Prospect Park Southwest in Windsor Terrace, owned by Gary Rubin, has exhibited several concerning patterns regarding safety compliance and maintenance over recent years. The building, constructed in 1931, currently has open violations from February 2022 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3. Earlier violations indicate ongoing safety concerns, with a 2022 violation for blocked fire escape windows in Apartment 9 and issues with an illegal double cylinder lock on the cellar door.
Multiple safety-related complaints were filed in 2019, including problems with smoke detectors, window guards, and carbon monoxide detectors, though investigations resulted in no violations except for the window guard issue. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 8, which has multiple open violations from 2019 related to floor repairs, painting requirements, and lead-based paint hazards. While there have been significant past violations, including a 2021 violation regarding bedbug reporting compliance, recent records show consistently zero bedbug infestations reported in the past five filing periods (2019-2024).
A recent inspection in December 2024 under Local Law 188/17 resulted in no violations being found. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, though there was an open violation in 2021 regarding this requirement. The most recent permitting activity was recorded in November 2019, with an issued permit for unspecified work.
