28 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

28 St Marks Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Built in 1880 and currently owned by Joseph Zelik, this previously converted Class A building has experienced notable pest management challenges over the past decade.

Most recently, from 2021 through 2024, the property has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations, with all annual reports showing "0" infested dwelling units and no eradication or re-infestation cases noted. This marks a significant and positive trend in pest control management. However, the building's historical rodent control record reveals a more complex picture, particularly between 2012 and 2018.

The property experienced consistent rat activity between 2012 and 2014, with multiple initial inspections resulting in findings of rodent presence, though subsequent compliance inspections showed improvement with "Passed" results. Following this period, there were no further reported rodent issues, and the last recorded rodent inspection in April 2018 resulted in a "Passed" compliance status, suggesting that the building has successfully addressed its pest control challenges in recent years. While the historical pest issues may raise concerns about the building's past maintenance practices, the recent absence of both bedbug and rodent problems indicates improved management and maintenance protocols.
