149 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

149 6th Avenue is a 7-unit, three-story residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, owned by Larry Cosares and constructed in 1871. The building has experienced some maintenance and health safety issues over the past several years, most notably in 2019 when there were two reports of rat sightings that year (in May) which required Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) involvement, though these complaints were subsequently closed.

Additional concerns were documented in late 2019 when the Department of Buildings issued an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, though there are no noted resolution comments. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistently clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with annual reports showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. These annual bedbug reports have been duly filed and show no signs of pest-related issues over the past several years, covering the periods from 2019 through December 2024. While the building's age and some historical maintenance issues are notable, the current pest control record is exemplary, with no reported infestations in any of the seven units over multiple reporting periods.
