297A Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-story, single-unit Old Law Tenement building at 297A Baltic Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Rafael Rodrigo, has experienced recurring housing maintenance issues over the past several years, with a particularly notable pattern regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still showing as open.

While these violations specifically pertain to administrative compliance rather than actual pest presence, they represent an ongoing oversight in building management responsibilities. The property's rodent control situation has shown a more recent but concerning development, with inspections in early 2025 revealing rat activity in February, though a subsequent compliance inspection in March 2025 cleared this issue.

This pattern suggests a potentially fluctuating pest control environment within the building. The structure, built in 1901, has maintained its historical character as one of Brooklyn's classic tenement buildings. While the building has passed rodent compliance inspections following the reported activity, the combination of persistent bedbug report violations and recent rodent activity indicates some challenges in building maintenance oversight.
