133 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 10-unit, four-story building at 133 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Russell Harkavy and dating back to 1840, has demonstrated a consistently proactive approach to pest management over the past several years. The property has maintained an exemplary record with respect to bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019 through the most recent filing in December 2024 showing zero documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across any of the dwelling units during the specified periods.

However, recent rodent inspection results present a more concerning picture. The building has experienced recurring rat activity in the first half of 2025, with compliance inspections in March and June both noting this issue.

Prior to these recent findings, there was a pattern of successful inspections, with the building passing all initial rodent inspections from 2013 through 2024, with the exception of one instance in February 2023 where rat activity was also detected. The most recent rodent-related compliance inspections suggest that while the building has generally maintained good conditions regarding both bedbugs and rodents over the years, there are current challenges with rat activity that differ significantly from its historically good pest management record.
