436 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 436 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, owned by Jolanta Konopska, has a relatively recent construction date of 2005 and has undergone several important inspections and incidents over the past decade. Most notably, in August 2022, there was a reported rat sighting that led to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations requiring follow-up inspections.

This incident is particularly significant considering the building's earlier rodent history, having passed an initial rodent inspection in 2010 but failing others in 2012, although subsequent compliance checks (most recently in November 2022) have shown improvement with a passing result. The building has been systematically required to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2023, though these inspections showed no infestation, with the most recent report from February 2025 confirming zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the 2023-2024 period.

The property has demonstrated increasing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the successful filings for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating improved management of this specific issue. While the building has had its share of pest management challenges, recent records suggest improved conditions, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past two years and only one significant rodent-related incident in the past three years.
