84 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 84 Butler Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Agnes Torres, is an old law tenement constructed in 1920. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted annually from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in September 2024 for the period between November 2022 and October 2023 indicates there were no infested dwelling units, no units that required eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting successful remediation of this ongoing compliance issue. More concerning are the recent rodent issues, with documented rat activity during inspections in early 2025 (February and March).

These inspections, one being an initial inspection and the other a compliance check, indicate ongoing pest control challenges that could impact resident comfort and safety. The building's relatively long history of bedbug report violations followed by recent rodent problems presents a pattern of pest management challenges, though it's notable that the most recent bedbug report period shows no documented infestations. The property has maintained a consistent pattern of addressing regulatory compliance issues, with all previous bedbug report violations now marked as closed, though this was achieved through continued reporting rather than through initial compliance.
