166 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

166 State Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Tony Dipiazza. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past several years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity in both January and March, following a pattern of bait applications between 2021-2022 and multiple inspections confirming rat presence between 2016-2021.

These ongoing rodent problems suggest a continuing challenge with pest management despite multiple inspections and mitigation efforts. The building has also faced maintenance issues requiring official attention, including a significant water leak emergency reported in September 2020, though no violations were found upon inspection. Two separate violations were documented in 2018 and 2020, requiring repairs to plastered surfaces and paint in a 5th-story public hall and bathroom ceiling in apartment 1A, with a roof leak issue also reported in 2018; however, all these violations were subsequently closed.

The building's recent history shows a positive trend regarding bedbug infestations, with all ownership period filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. The property has undergone regular inspections and reporting requirements for both rodent activity and bedbug monitoring, showing compliance with city regulations even though the rodent problem persists. Current data up to October 2023 suggests that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, the building continues to contend with recurring rodent presence as a significant concern for resident quality of life and building maintenance standards.
