498 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, two-family residence at 498 2nd Street in Park Slope, owned by David Bijur and built in 1901, has experienced some notable incidents over recent years. Most concerning is a rat sighting complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in October 2023, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building's pest management history has been relatively stable, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023 showing no infested units, no reported cases of eradication or re-infestation, indicating effective pest control measures in that respect. Additional records indicate minimal disruption to the residential environment, though a 2020 complaint about illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone was investigated and found to have no warranted violations upon inspection.

During the same period, there was a complaint related to a mobile food vendor permit issue which, while closed, required inspection confirmation through the Health Department. The most recent concerns relate primarily to vermin control, with a significant gap between the most recent service request and any other notable incidents, suggesting that while the property has faced some challenges, these have not been chronic or persistent through time.
