32 Middagh Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

32 Middagh Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1889 in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by Harriet Frederick. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in March 2023 alone, including two emergencies, and similar problems reported in October 2022 and March 2019. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, particularly regarding rodent sightings and conditions, with multiple complaints recorded between 2022 and 2023.

Notably, inspections in March 2023 showed rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection on March 22, 2023 indicated passing results. Additional concerns include unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage conditions reported in February 2023. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to various issues, with some inspections unable to gain access to units, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2018 according to the building's annual bedbug reports.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections since 2009, except for the most recent initial inspection in January 2023 which noted rat activity. The building's age and recurring issues with heat/hot water and pest control suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent inspections have shown some improvements in compliance with regulations. During the inspection periods, no violations were issued regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests in October 2022, and there have been no reported bedbug cases in the past five years.
