561 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

561 Henry Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by Mary Mattner and constructed in 1900 as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent history shows concerning pest management issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by a rat sighting complaint to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in May 2025, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

These rodent-related problems appear to be persistent, with the building failing both initial and compliance inspections in May and July 2025 respectively, though the specific reasons for failure were not detailed in the records. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025 shows consistently zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested dwelling units, suggesting effective management of this particular pest, even though it may not provide complete assurance of an ongoing bedbug-free status.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, with filings made in December of each year covering the previous November to October periods. While the building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are typical for the Carroll Gardens neighborhood, the recent rodent issues represent the most significant health and safety concern in the current record period.
