343 20th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
343 20th Street in Sunset Park is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Joseph Cohen. The property has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past few years, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents documented between April and June 2023, and earlier inspections in 2022 also confirming rat activity.
The most recent rat-related complaints in 2023 were handled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with inspectors noting "Rat Activity" during their April and May inspections. Notably, from 2021 through 2023, the building consistently received rat activity determinations during inspections, with bait application recorded between September and December 2021. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, including two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero reported infestations or eradications.
Two historical complaints were filed - one in 2020 regarding failure to maintain the property (no violation found upon inspection) and another in 2018 concerning illegal hotel rooms (also no violation found). Despite the documented rodent issues, the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) show no infestations, indicating successful pest management in that regard. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received bait treatment in 2021, suggesting attempts to address the rodent problem, though the recurring nature of complaints indicates ongoing challenges.
