147 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201

147 Columbia Heights, a four-story, 12-unit building in Brooklyn Heights owned by Diane Gipstein, has a documented history dating back to its 1842 construction. The property has faced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rodent-related incident occurring in September 2021 when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations requiring follow-up inspections.

This triggered a series of bait application treatments throughout early 2022, during which multiple inspections recorded rat activity. Prior to these events, rat activity was also documented in December 2021, and initial inspections from 2015 and 2013 showed "Passed" results with no recorded issues. More recently, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reporting from 2019 through 2024 showing either zero infestations or successful eradication of just one case in 2018-2019, with no reported re-infestation.

The building's pest management history shows a pattern of addressing both rodent and bedbug issues, though the most recent rodent problems seemed to have been managed through multiple bait application treatments in early 2022. While the rodent situation appeared to stabilize after this period, with no new complaints recorded through October 2023, the property did experience one pest-related health code violation in September 2021. The consistent zero-reporting of bedbug infestations over the past five years suggests effective management of this particular pest, with all recent inspections showing no active cases.
