696 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 696 Degraw Street in Park Slope, owned by Michael Ameno, has been subject to various health and safety inspections over the past several years. Most notably, the building experienced a series of rodent-related complaints between 2019 and 2020, with three documented complaints about conditions attracting rodents and two rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in 2019.

However, all of these incidents were resolved through inspections, with the last recorded DOHMH rodent inspection in September 2019 passing without any identified issues. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with all five annual reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, though the property received three class A violations between 2022 and 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report on time. The building has undergone regular inspections, with the most recent housing maintenance inspection in April 2024 passing without any significant findings.

Historical data shows a consistent pattern of rodent inspections between 2015 and 2019, with the majority passing without issue, though there was one recorded incident of rat activity in April 2018. The property has demonstrated compliance with city regulations through routine inspections and reporting requirements, maintaining a generally stable record since the cessation of rodent complaints in 2019. While the building has experienced various health and safety inspections typical of an older tenement building, recent years show no recurring patterns of pest-related issues, with the most current bedbug reporting period (2024) confirming a clean slate of infestations.
