249 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

249 21st Street in Sunset Park is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Haydee Vargas. The property has maintained a commendable record of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations or eradications in the past seven consecutive reporting periods from 2018 through 2025.

The building's rodent-related challenges appear to be intermittent; most recently, a rat sighting was reported in February 2025, though a subsequent inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. Past rodent inspections show a pattern of activity, with inspections in 2012 and 2018 noting "Rat Activity," while inspections in more recent years (2019, 2025) have resulted in "Passed" outcomes. The building's maintenance record shows one active violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, though this appears to be an historical issue.

In April 2020, two complaints related to COVID-19 Executive Orders were investigated, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. Most recently, in April 2024, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, though this was subsequently certified as closed. The property's historical records indicate regular compliance with necessary inspections and reporting requirements, with no significant or recurring violations that would adversely affect resident safety or comfort.
