421 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

At 421 49th Street in Sunset Park, a three-story, 4-unit building constructed in 1914, recent records indicate significant pest management challenges. The property, currently owned by Jumbo River Realty LLC, has experienced multiple rodent-related incidents throughout 2024, with the most recent being a rat activity inspection in May 2024, followed by another compliance inspection in June that passed.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has documented three rodent complaints between January and May 2024, all resulting in identified violations and requiring follow-up inspections. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program over the past several years, with regular annual reports submitted to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Notably, between 2022 and 2025, the property has consistently reported zero infested dwelling units in its bedbug filings, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. Compliance inspections conducted in April and June 2024 passed, though these occurred against a backdrop of earlier rodent activity in the same year. While the building has faced repeated rodent challenges, the property management's prompt response to inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent reports may indicate some level of effective pest management, though the recurring nature of the rodent issues is noteworthy.
