63 Cranberry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 4-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 63 Cranberry Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Josh Sohn, has been in operation since 1830. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to rodent activity. In early 2024, there were at least two rat sighting reports in February and March, leading to inspections that documented violations and required follow-up.

While a subsequent compliance inspection in May 2024 passed, an earlier April 2024 inspection noted rat activity. The building has also faced challenges with its annual bedbug reporting requirements, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the necessary reports, though recent filings for 2024-2025 indicate no reported infestations, with zero infested or eradicated units on record. The property's history shows an ongoing pattern of addressing pest control issues, with inspections typically resulting in either violations or passing grades.

A swimming pool maintenance issue was reported in October 2018, and a drainage-related complaint was filed in September 2024, though this was ultimately deemed not to warrant a violation upon inspection in April 2025. The building appears to be actively working to comply with health and safety requirements, as evidenced by recent passing inspections, though the recurring nature of some violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance compliance. The most recent available data up to May 2025 indicates improved reporting compliance, with no current bedbug or rodent issues documented, though previous patterns show these can be recurring concerns.
