405 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 405 Butler Street in Park Slope, owned by Thomas Morales, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, and previously in March 2023 and February 2022, the building received violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While there was one instance in April 2021 of such a violation that was subsequently closed, this pattern of non-compliance raises concerns about the building's adherence to critical pest management requirements. The building's official bedbug report for the 2019-2020 period indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, though it's important to note that this filing appears to be outdated given the subsequent violations.

The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture: while the initial inspection in July 2018 and a compliance inspection in June 2012 passed without issue, there was one recorded instance of rat activity during an April 2012 initial inspection. Given the building's age (constructed in 1986) and the documented history of pest-related violations, the property has experienced some challenges with maintaining required health and safety standards, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance.
