146 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit building at 146 Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Lorraine Gerrity, has experienced some significant pest control challenges over the past several years. Most notably, in February 2022, the property was subject to multiple rodent-related complaints, including rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with initial inspections revealing violations that warranted follow-up inspections.

The building underwent two official rodent inspections in 2022, first failing an initial inspection in March but subsequently passing a compliance inspection in July. More recently, in April 2024, a housing maintenance code violation was issued regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to be an administrative issue rather than a health concern.

Despite the earlier rodent problems, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods from 2018 to 2024, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting system showing zero infested, eradicated, and re-infested units. The most recent 311 service requests and inspections suggest the building has made progress in addressing previous pest control issues, with no recent rodent complaints recorded since mid-2022. A Department of Buildings complaint filed in March 2022 related to a "Sweep" was investigated the same day and found no warrant for violation, indicating prompt response to building-related complaints.
