188 27th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 188 27th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Maria Durante and constructed in 1924, has experienced ongoing pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status, representing an improvement from multiple "Rat Activity" findings throughout 2024 and 2023.
The building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 showing "0" for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units. The property has faced several significant maintenance issues, including a heating/hot water emergency in January 2024 that was promptly addressed, and a serious boiler violation in August 2023 involving multiple safety concerns and resulting in a $625 penalty, which remains active as of October 2023.
An illegal conversion complaint filed in June 2024 could not be inspected on the first attempt. The building's owner has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infestation cases, suggesting regular compliance with pest management protocols. While the rodent situation appears to be improving based on the most recent inspections, the history of repeated rat activity and the serious nature of the boiler violation suggests ongoing maintenance attention may be required.
