162 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201

At 162 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights, a four-story, five-unit property built in 1844 and currently owned by Keiko Delille, there have been several notable health and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is the recurring rodent problem, with recent complaints including a rat sighting in September 2024 (where Health inspectors couldn't access the property) and an ongoing investigation from May 2020 regarding signs of rodents.

However, a more recent rodent inspection from November 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building has also experienced some administrative oversights, with multiple violations issued in 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspection records for 2020, 2021, and 2022 - though these violations were subsequently dismissed by September 2023.

Regarding pest management, while there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 related to bedbug report filings, it's worth noting that the building's bedbug reporting for the periods ending October 2024, October 2023, and October 2022 shows a consistent record of zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. A Department of Buildings complaint from March 2022 regarding a sweep of the property resulted in no violations warranting action. The building's most recent inspection results indicate improved compliance with health and safety regulations, with the most recent rodent inspection passing, and there's been no recent pattern of bedbug infestations demonstrated in the official reports.
