Public Advocate Bill de Blasio just released his annual NYC Worst Landlords Watchlist. Making the list for Prospect Heights is 181 PARK PLACE, while de Blasio’s report lists as having 3 units and a total of 96 infractions.
According to the Trulia listing of 181 Park Place, this multi-family, 4,137 sq ft property was built in 1931. It’s not on the market, but the average price for homes sold recently is almost $1.6 million, or well over the average list price of $620k for Prospect Heights.

“Spotted on Park Place this morning. I felt bad for the little guy, but picking plush or upholstered items up off the street is usually a bad idea.”

Photographer Percy Loomis Sperr (1890-1964) took this photo of 353 Park Place at Underhill Ave. (N.E. corner) on August 29, 1930.

Yesterday’s New York Times: Aguayo & Huebener just sold a 2-bedroom, 925 sq. ft. condo in Park Place Towers (222 Park Place) for the asking price of $521,675. The condo, 10 weeks on the market has a $283 common charge (taxes not yet assessed).
As set speed points out, that’s $564 per sq. ft., or quite a premium over new condo developments in more "edgy" quarters of Prospect Heights.

Can anybody pinpoint the block? Someone should go out and take "now & then" photos.
Brownstoner reports rumors of a "bidding war" over this house for sale, with the leading bid at $1.3 million. We can confirm that the street address is 330 Park Pl.
