18 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The four-unit, two-story tenement at 18 Butler Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Vernon Hyatt and constructed in 1920, has a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in late 2024, there was a rat sighting that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections.
The building has active Environmental Control Board violations from July 2024 related to failure to conduct or file final inspections of permitted work, with penalties totaling $7,530, including $1,280 for violation #39120276K and $6,250 for violation #39120275Z. Two similar construction complaints were filed and closed in 2023 and 2025, both resulting in Oath violations being served.
The property has had ongoing issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with violations recorded consistently from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual reports, though the most recent bedbug report for 2021-2022 shows zero infested units. Rodent management has been a recurring concern, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing mixed results: a failure to comply in December 2024, a passing inspection in February 2025, and historical evidence of rat activity documented in 2016. The building's inspection history indicates persistent challenges with meeting regulatory requirements, particularly regarding construction permits and pest management, although recent rodent inspections suggest some improvement in pest control efforts.
