265 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, three-unit building at 265 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Peggy Lee, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since 2021. The most pressing current issues involve rodent activity, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 through 2025, including rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.
The property has been subject to regular rat inspections, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 showing a "Passed" result, following several months of documented rat activity in 2024. The building has also repeatedly failed to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 specifically citing non-filing of the required reports.
Additionally, there were several complaints in 2025 related to construction activities, including illegal after-hours work and concerns about site conditions, though inspections did not warrant any violations. A complaint about work without a permit in February 2025 resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access on the second final attempt. While some of these recent construction-related concerns were addressed, including one stop work order being fully rescinded, the building's persistent issues with rodent control and bedbug reporting requirements represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenges.
