54 1st Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

54 1st Place is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by 54 1st Place LLC and constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past three years, with documented complaints about rodents and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though their inspection found no violations.

Prior to that, in December 2022, there was a similar unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that required Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) involvement, though again, no violations were found. The property has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, with inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2023 noting the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, though these violations have all been marked as closed. However, it is worth noting that despite these previous issues, the building's most recent inspection results appear more positive.

The most recent bedbug report filing in January 2025 (covering the 2023-2024 period) shows no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented. Additionally, the building passed a rodent inspection in October 2023, which followed the August rodent complaint. While the building has experienced several pest-related incidents over the past few years, the current data indicates improved conditions, with no active violations and compliance with recent bedbug reporting requirements.
