45 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-unit, three-story building at 45 St. Marks Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Colleen Mcentee and constructed in 1880, has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with the most recent incident occurring in March 2025 involving rat sightings that resulted in violations from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The property has a documented history of rodent problems, particularly between mid-2019 and late-2019, with multiple rat sighting reports and conditions attracting rodents filed with DOHMH between June and November 2019. During this same period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated unsanitary conditions on several occasions, including emergency responses in September and November 2019, with some inspections resulting in violations. The building also faced additional challenges in late 2019, with emergency complaints recorded for unsanitary conditions related to both pests and mold.

While the building's most recent documented issues occurred in 2025, the property's earlier pattern of pest problems during 2019—characterized by multiple complaints and inspections—suggested persistent maintenance challenges. The various governmental agency responses indicate a mixture of inspection results, with some complaints resulting in violations and others being closed without violations being issued. The building's age and continued pest-related incidents warrant attention to the property's maintenance history, particularly regarding sanitation and pest control measures.
