209 24th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 209 24th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Michael Ficchi, has a significant history of rodent-related issues between 2020 and 2023. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) received multiple complaints during this period, with inspections revealing violations in 2020 and 2021, and recorded rat activity in initial inspections through 2023.

The most recent inspection in December 2023 passed, following a compliance inspection earlier in 2023 that noted rat activity. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from 2019 through May 2025. The property, constructed in 1935 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, experienced two complaints to the Department of Buildings in recent years.

In 2020, there was a complaint regarding work without a permit, and in 2019, a construction enforcement work order was filed; however, both investigations resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The building's permit history shows multiple permits related to electrical and plumbing work issued in 2018, suggesting regular maintenance and updates to building systems. While the rodent issues present a notable concern, it's important to recognize the property's relatively stable condition since the last recorded violations were addressed, as well as the absence of bedbug problems over the past several years.
