368 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

368 Baltic Street, a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. The property, built in 1931 and currently owned by Arik Lifshitz, has been dealing with recurring rodent problems, with multiple rat activity inspections recorded between 2019 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 show some improvement with passed compliance results.

In 2019, the building faced substantial sanitary challenges, including reports of mold, pest infestations, and water leaks, with housing maintenance code violations noted for unsafe electrical wiring conditions in third and second-story public halls, as well as unauthorized items in hallways including a refrigerator and bicycle. While the building has maintained a clean record with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and there are no recent complaints of unsanitary conditions or mosquito issues, the historical problems suggest persistent maintenance challenges.

The property has shown some improvement in recent years, with successful rodent control measures in place as evidenced by passing compliance inspections in early 2025, and no recent reports of the previously documented sanitary issues. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to pest control needs, as evidenced by multiple bait applications in late 2019, though access issues were noted during inspections of certain complaints. The most recent records indicate a period of relative stability regarding major pest and sanitation issues since 2020, with regular bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases across all reporting periods.
