465 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 465 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joseph Brasse, has maintained a generally positive record in terms of pest management and building maintenance since 2021. While the property did receive rodent-related complaints in 2021 (with a rat sighting reported on April 3, 2021), the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted an inspection and found no violations.

Subsequent rodent inspections in 2021 (June 7) and 2023 (December 27) both resulted in passing grades, indicating effective management of rodent issues. The building has experienced consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with multiple violations issued for failure to file the annual bedbug report.

However, it's significant to note that the bedbug reporting records themselves tell a clear story: for each of the filing periods from 2019 through 2024 (most recently filed in December 2024), the building has reported zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infested units. This suggests that while there were administrative violations regarding the timing of report submissions, the actual pest control measures in place have been effective, as evidenced by the absence of confirmed infestations. The property has successfully passed all rodent inspections since 2021, and the most recent bedbug report (2024-2025) confirms continued freedom from both infestations and any related treatment requirements.
