137 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201
137 Atlantic Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit brownstone built in 1899 in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by Todd Rose. The building has experienced recurring pest control challenges over the past few years, particularly regarding rodent activity, with multiple incidents documented between 2021 and 2024. Most recently, in 2024, the building passed a rodent inspection, though there were significant rat activity reports and bait application requirements in earlier 2023 inspections.
The property has also faced consistent issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021 through 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The building's maintenance history reveals several noteworthy events, including multiple complaints about unauthorized work in 2020-2023, with a significant enforcement action in April 2021 related to unauthorized sidewalk hatch installation. The property has active violations related to External Low Pressure inspection filings from 2018-2021, though one violation from 2022 was dismissed. In 2018, there was a documented issue with construction work not conforming to approved documents regarding rooftop A/C unit installation.
The building underwent various Department of Buildings inspections and compliance checks between 2020 and 2024, with several Compliance Inspections completed showing no enforcement action required, though there were instances of required corrections not being properly addressed. The building's current status as of July 2025 shows no active bedbug infestations reported in the latest filing period (2023-2024), and the most recent rodent inspection passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. However, the historical pattern of rodent activity and habitat maintenance violations indicates that pest control has been a persistent challenge for this property. The owner's recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and the passing rodent inspection in 2024 suggests decreased pest activity in recent months, though the property has had periods of concentrated pest management efforts in previous years.
