277 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 5-unit, 4-story building at 277 President Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Elizabeth Derbes, has experienced several notable incidents regarding pest management and building maintenance compliance over the past few years. Most significantly, in 2021, the property was subject to multiple inspections and complaints regarding pest control, including a May 2021 DOHMH investigation that confirmed rodent violations requiring follow-up inspections.

A related housing maintenance code violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed. The building's rodent-related issues appeared to be partially addressed by August 2021, when a compliance inspection resulted in a passing grade, following an initial May 2021 inspection that noted rat activity. More recently, the property has maintained a clean record regarding both bedbug and rodent infestations.

From 2022 through 2024, the annual bedbug reports consistently indicated zero infested units, with similar declarations of no re-infestations or eradicated units. Additionally, building complaints have been minimal, with a 2021 complaint regarding work contrary to a stop work order being investigated and found unsubstantiated based on department records. The most recent rodent inspection from 2021 and the lack of any documented pest-related issues since then suggest that the building has effectively addressed its previous infestation challenges, though the 2021 rodent violations and bedbug report non-compliance should be noted as previous concerns.
