174 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 8-unit, 4-story brick tenement building at 174 Union Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Nicola Gambino and constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, though recent developments suggest improved conditions. Most notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of submitting zero infested dwelling unit counts in its bedbug reporting from 2020 through 2024, following some violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding late bedbug report filings, which were subsequently closed.

The property has demonstrated responsiveness to rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a passing grade, following a rat sighting complaint in August 2024 that was also resolved without violations. Historical data between 2018-2019 shows several rodent-related incidents, including multiple inspections documenting rat activity, though subsequent inspections in the same period generally passed, and bait application was noted as a mitigation measure. The building's service request history shows several pest-related complaints between 2018 and 2024, including mouse and rat sightings, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducting inspections that typically resulted in no violations.

The property also experienced an unsanitary conditions complaint regarding pests in July 2018, which was addressed through HPD channels. While there have been fluctuations in pest-related issues over the years, the most recent data from 2023-2024 indicates successful pest management, with all required bedbug reports properly filed and no active infestations documented. The property's overall record suggests a pattern of responsive management to pest issues, though residents have experienced periodic challenges, particularly during 2018-2019 when multiple rodent complaints were documented.
