283 23rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 283 23rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by John Mclellan, has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple documented rat sightings in 2024, including complaints in September, June, and December, with the most recent inspection in December 2024 confirming rat activity.
Between 2022 and 2023, similar rodent problems were documented, with regular inspections revealing rat activity and bait application attempts in mid-2022. The building's rodent situation has required ongoing attention, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducting multiple inspections and investigations.
The property also has some regulatory compliance issues, including a current open violation (as of June 2023) regarding the failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection. While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2023 shows no recorded infestations or related issues (with reports indicating zero infested units), there were Housing Maintenance Code violations in both 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. These violations were ultimately closed, and the building's subsequent bedbug reports have shown consistent compliance with the reporting requirements.
