539 West 144th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The five-story, five-unit brownstone at 539 West 144th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Jaime Kilburn, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years. The building, constructed in 1900 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has undergone multiple inspections and interventions regarding both bedbug and rodent issues.
Most notably, between April 2022 and June 2022, there were several documented rat sightings that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. The property has seen consistent rodent control efforts throughout 2023-2025, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing varying levels of rodent activity, including confirmed rat activity in July, September, October 2023, and bait applications continuing into 2024. The building's bedbug management history shows a pattern of compliance reporting between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent reports (February 2025 and April 2024) indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting successful elimination of this particular pest problem.
The property has maintained regular annual bedbug reporting compliance, though violations were recorded in 2021-2024 related to the timely submission of these reports. Recent rodent inspections (2025 and 2024) have officially passed, though the pattern of repeated bait applications and recorded rat activity suggests ongoing monitoring and management efforts are required. The building's documented history shows proactive management of both pest issues, with regular inspections and treatment measures being implemented, though the persistence of rodent activity through 2023-2025 indicates this remains an area of attention.
