The Kings Place Condominium, a 7-story, 51-unit building completed in 2019 in Gravesend, has experienced several notable events since its construction. The building underwent multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections and complaints during its early years, particularly in 2019-2020, with issues relating to Construction Safety Compliance, after-hours work, and CSE sweeps, though many of these complaints resulted in no violations or were fully rescinded.

In 2021, there were violations related to sustainability enforcement and failure to maintain, with at least one Oath violation served. The building has faced recurring issues regarding energy benchmarking compliance in recent years, with multiple violations recorded between 2023-2024 for failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores, though these were ultimately dismissed or challenged successfully. Between 2020-2021, there were several violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though these were also dismissed.

The most recent bedbug reporting for the building covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infestations, with previous reports from February 2024 for the period November 2022 to October 2023 also indicating no bedbug activity. This 51-unit building's recent history suggests improved compliance with building regulations, with no significant safety or maintenance issues reported in the past two years, though the pattern of energy benchmarking violations indicates some administrative challenges in meeting this particular requirement. The property has paid associated fines for various violations over the years, with the most recent being in August 2024 for failure to file benchmarking reports, which represents the building's most recent regulatory challenge.
