69 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, two-family brownstone at 69 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Francisco Montero and built in 1849, has experienced recurring pest control challenges over recent years. Between 2018 and 2021, there were three documented rodent-related complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, all resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Since mid-2021, regular rodent control measures have been implemented, with numerous bait applications recorded between May 2021 and January 2023, indicating ongoing efforts to address the rodent issue, though the presence of conditions requiring bait application suggests persistent challenges. The building has also faced mechanical and regulatory issues, notably a boiler violation in August 2023 that resulted in a $250 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved with a Certificate of Correction.

Additionally, there is an active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection records. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual filings from 2020 through 2025 reporting zero infested or eradicated units. While the property has demonstrated management's responsiveness to pest control through regular bait applications and prompt resolution of some violations, the frequency of rodent-related interventions suggests this remains an ongoing challenge for the building.
