131 23rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 131 23rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Michael Ficchi, has had several noteworthy events since its construction in 1930. Most recently, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts.

The building faced some infrastructure challenges in 2018, including a flooring/stairs issue investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that did not result in any violations, and a fire escape defect that was subsequently corrected by October 2018. In early 2022, a violation was issued regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though the current status of this violation is listed as closed.

The building's rodent inspections in 2022 present a mixed picture of pest management: an initial inspection in June 2022 identified rat activity, while a subsequent September 2022 compliance inspection passed without issues. This pattern of addressing pest concerns through multiple inspections and reports is noteworthy, though the initial rat activity in 2022 indicates some challenges with rodent control during that period. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and reporting requirements being addressed, with the most recent bedbug report (May 2025) demonstrating ongoing compliance with city regulations.
