400 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 400 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Edward McMellon, has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably concerning rodent activity and regulatory compliance. In 2024, the building had multiple inspections related to tenant safety and Local Law 188/17 compliance, with the most recent inspection on October 25, 2024 showing compliance with no enforcement action required.

However, there have been concerning rodent issues, with a rat sighting reported in May 2024 leading to violations, and an initial inspection in July 2024 finding rat activity, though a compliance inspection in August 2024 passed successfully. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with several compliance inspections performed throughout 2024, including successful tenant safety inspections in April and August.

Notably, the property has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the annual filings from 2021 through 2025, covering multiple reporting periods from November 2019 through October 2024. While the building has faced challenges with rodent issues in recent years, the property management appears to be responsive to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the completion of multiple compliance inspections and subsequent corrective actions.
