186 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 186 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Mark Sullivan and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring health and maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly relating to rodent issues. The most recent inspection in May 2025 and previous inspections in September 2024, April 2024, and February 2024 all documented rat activity, though compliance inspections in September 2024 and April 2024 passed. The building has generated multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in 2024-2025, including three food establishment-related issues - one involving temperature control (closed January 2025) and another concerning rat sightings (April 2025).

The property has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations from 2018 through 2024, according to annual reporting requirements. The building's maintenance history shows a persistent pattern of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports of conditions attracting rodents between December 2023 and April 2024. While most of these complaints were ultimately closed through inspections or referral to the Rat Portal, they indicate an ongoing pest management challenge.

The only other notable maintenance issue on record was a door-related complaint from March 2019, which could not be inspected and was subsequently closed. Despite these challenges, the building has generally passed its rodent inspections when conducted as part of the regular inspection cycle, suggesting some level of responsive maintenance. The property's combined history of food establishment complaints and rodent issues over the past two years indicates particular attention should be paid to both health and pest management conditions in the building.
