640 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

640 Carroll Street, a 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement built in 1923 in Park Slope and currently owned by Cesar Hidalgo, has experienced several notable maintenance and pest control issues over recent years. The building has undergone multiple rodent-related inspections, with the most recent in April 2025 passing compliance standards, though there have been two significant rodent activity reports in 2024 (August and September).

The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, along with a heavy water leak incident, both occurring in January 2019, though these were resolved relatively quickly with no violations issued. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance, with no infestations or re-infestations reported in the annual filings from 2020 through 2024, despite having three bedbug violation notices issued between 2021-2024, likely related to annual reporting requirements rather than actual infestations. The building's recent maintenance record presents a mixed picture: while the most recent rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade, the presence of rodent activity reports in 2024 suggests ongoing challenges with pest control.

The 2019 heating and water issues, occurring simultaneously, indicate there was a period of reduced resident comfort, though this was resolved promptly according to HPD records. The building's age and status as a New Law Tenement may reflect typical urban maintenance challenges, though the relatively recent passing of bedbug inspections and the lack of current infestation reports suggest effective pest management practices have been implemented. The property's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years is particularly notable, showing regular submissions of reports indicating zero infestation cases.
