138 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn

Park-adjacent 10-unit building with four open administrative notices and recent pest complaints on file.

A 10-unit Park Slope rental right on Prospect Park West that stays out of major code violations but shows recent pest activity. Three things to know:

Pest complaints surfaced in August 2026 and remain open. Three pest complaints were logged on August 19, 2026, and all three remain listed as open. On the code side, there are four open administrative violations from October 2022 covering required mailings and hallway postings for carbon monoxide, smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and housing guides. They carry no structural risk, but they show loose administrative follow-through.

Park-side curb space brings heavy parking friction within three blocks. Within three blocks of the building, 97 illegal parking calls were logged over the last 12 months, with 44 specifically for blocked hydrants and 19 for posted sign violations. It is a standard Park Slope park-side curb issue rather than a building defect, but it means double-parking and loading turf battles are regular fixtures right outside.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 28 damaged tree complaints within three blocks, mostly fallen or cracked branches near the park edge
• 17 lead kit or testing requests logged within three blocks over the last year
• A January 2026 complaint for a heavy water leak and damaged ceiling was closed out by the city
