379 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, two-family house at 379 State Street in Boerum Hill, owned by James Devereux and built in 1905, has experienced recurring rodent issues in recent years. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and inspection records indicating rat sightings and signs of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in March-April 2025 showing bait application as a response to ongoing rodent concerns.

While some inspections yielded "Passed" results with no violations, particularly in 2024-2018, there have been periods requiring active intervention, including a June 2024 inspection that noted rat activity and a troubling April 2024 inspection that documented violations requiring follow-up. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradication efforts from 2017 through 2021, suggesting good management of this particular pest concern.

The property has been subject to regular monitoring and intervention regarding rodent issues, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducting inspections and applying bait as recent as May 2025. The building's rodent management response appears to be proactive, with multiple inspections and treatment efforts in place, though the persistence of rodent-related complaints and the need for bait application suggest an ongoing challenge. The building's documented history shows more consistent attention to rodent management in recent years, particularly since 2024, compared to earlier periods where such issues were less frequently reported.
