281 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, two-unit residential building at 281 6th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Hevra Goodman, has been subject to regular health and safety scrutiny over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2023, there was a reported rat sighting near the property, though this complaint was closed due to prior notifications on record with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has faced recurring administrative requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the necessary annual reports. However, these violations appear to be more administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation, as the bedbug reports for the periods ending in October 2023 showed no infested or re-infested units, and all three prior annual reports (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024) confirmed zero infested or eradicated units. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in March 2023 and July 2023 passing without issue.

Prior to these, the building also passed rodent inspections in 2018, suggesting generally effective pest management practices in recent years. Despite the need for improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, the building's overall inspection record indicates maintained health and safety standards, with no documented pattern of persistent pest problems. The property's age (built in 1920) and classification as an "Old Law Tenement" in Brooklyn are consistent with its period of construction and provide context for its historical significance in the neighborhood.
