745 Brook Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

745 Brook Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story Class A residential building located in the Longwood neighborhood, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Jillian Dillah. The building has experienced several notable pest control and maintenance issues over recent years.

Most significantly, there have been recurring rat sightings, with the most recent documented incident in October 2022 leading to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene violations that required follow-up inspections. While subsequent rodent inspections in 2023 and late 2022 showed compliance with health standards, the building has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding its pest management practices. The property has also been cited multiple times for failing to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent report filed in June 2024 indicated no bedbug infestations occurred during the reporting period.

Additional maintenance concerns include two complaints about excessive debris in late 2023, though one was marked as having no violations upon inspection, and a 2018 complaint regarding a potentially bulging or cracked wall that could not be properly inspected. The building's permit records show at least one issued permit in October 2022 for unspecified work. While many of these issues have been addressed through inspections or compliance actions, the property has a documented history of both rodent and bedbug management challenges, particularly in maintaining up-to-date reporting and compliance with city health department requirements.
