107 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-unit, three-story building at 107 State Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Peter Patterson Jr. and constructed in 1847, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues in recent years.

Most notably, there is an ongoing rodent problem, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documenting a rat sighting in July 2023, followed by multiple rodent inspections in early 2024 showing bait application and previously recorded rat activity in August 2023. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance; while the annual reports submitted for 2021-2022 and 2019-2020 indicated no infested or previously infested units, the property received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file these reports, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed rodent inspections in 2015, 2013, and February 2023, suggesting that the rodent issues have only recently become more pronounced.

The property has undergone three separate rodent inspections in 2024, with bait applied in multiple instances, indicating active management attempts to address the problem. The building's age and its designation as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it may have undergone some conversions from its original use, though specific details of such changes are not provided in the available data. The combination of ongoing rodent issues and bedbug reporting violations, particularly the open violation from April 2024, suggests some challenges with maintenance compliance and pest management at this historic property.
