36 St Marks Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 36 St Marks Place in Gowanus, owned by Cathleen Bell, has a notable history of pest and maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's persistent rodent problem, with multiple inspections from 2019 through 2022 showing repeated rat activity and the need for bait applications.
The most recent rodent-related activity occurred in July 2022, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene also finding violations related to rodent-attracting conditions that summer. The building has experienced significant water-related issues, particularly in November 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding slow water leaks, mold, and roofing problems, though these were marked as closed within two weeks.
The property has demonstrated ongoing compliance concerns, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. While the building has maintained a clean record of bedbug infestations in its most recent filings (2024, 2023, and 2021 reports showing zero infested units), there have been four consecutive violations (2021-2024) related to failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though the violations are marked as "Closed." The building's maintenance history reflects a mix of resolved issues and persistent challenges, with recent inspections showing improved compliance regarding pest reporting requirements, suggesting some progress in addressing past violations despite the building's historical pest management challenges.
