49 Columbia Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201
49 Columbia Place is a historic four-story, four-unit brownstone located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1849 and currently owned by Arthur Pearsall.
The building has experienced recurring pest management concerns over the past several years, with documented rat sightings recorded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in August-October 2019, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 indicates no infested units during the 2023-2024 period, and previous filings for 2021-2022 also showed no infestation.
The building underwent several rodent inspections between 2013 and 2019, with initial inspections in 2014 and 2019 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in September 2019 passed. It's worth noting that all bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024 have been closed, and the building's rodent control efforts appear to have improved since the initial rat activity findings, with no recent complaints recorded since 2019.
