207A Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

207A Prospect Avenue, a 4-story, 6-unit residential building in South Slope built in 1899 and currently owned by Jared Walsey, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past decade, particularly regarding rodent activity. The property faced multiple rodent-related incidents between 2020-2021, with five separate rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Though inspections followed these complaints, and most were resolved without violations, the pattern suggests an ongoing pest management challenge.

Two significant rat activity inspections in 2012 and 2017 resulted in failure, requiring subsequent compliance inspections, though more recent rodent inspections in 2021 passed without issues. While the building has faced these rodent challenges, it has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations. Although two bedbug-related violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 for failing to submit annual reports, the building's subsequent bedbug filings from 2022 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

This indicates effective pest management practices for bedbugs following the initial reporting violation. The most recent filings from 2023-2024 continue to show no bedbug-related issues, suggesting successful remediation and compliance with reporting requirements. As of July 2025, the building's pest management situation appears stable, with clear evidence of effective bedbug management and no recent rodent complaints or violations on record since the 2021 inspections.
