206 Mt Hope Place, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-unit residential building at 206 Mt Hope Place in the Mount Hope neighborhood, owned by Eric Brooks and dating back to 1919, has experienced significant pest control challenges over the past two years. Most recently, in July 2025, and during the first half of 2025, the property successfully passed rodent inspections, indicating some improvement in pest management.

However, there was a notable pattern of rodent activity between July 2023 and early 2024, with multiple inspections revealing the presence of rats. Between September and November 2023 alone, three bait applications were necessary, followed by another bait application in early 2024.

The building's rodent control history shows a troubling sequence of inspections indicating rat activity through much of 2023 and early 2024, with compliance inspections showing active infestations in January and February 2024. The pattern of inspections suggests that while recent inspections have demonstrated improvement, the building faced significant pest control challenges during 2023 and early 2024, requiring multiple interventions including bait applications and follow-up compliance checks. The most recent inspections in 2025 and early 2024, which passed with no recorded violations, offer some indication of improved conditions, though continued monitoring would be advised given the building's recent history.
