292 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, NY 11215

292 Garfield Place is a 5-unit, 3-story residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Margaret Somerstein. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, primarily related to pest management. Most recently, in early 2024, there were two reports of rat sightings in January, though one was merged with an earlier complaint, and subsequent inspections in March 2024 confirmed rodent presence was not an ongoing issue, with an initial inspection passing without violations.

The property has demonstrated consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with annual reports filed from 2021 through 2024 showing no infestation cases during the reporting periods. While there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2021 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports - including 2023-03-23, 2022-02-24, and 2021-04-09 - these were subsequently closed. The building's history shows attention being required to both rodent and bedbug issues, though recent inspections indicate improved compliance and dwelling conditions.

The most recent rodent-related service request was handled promptly by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with an inspection following that resulted in a passing grade. The property appears to have maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2023, with all recent filings indicating no affected units. The building's age and location in Park Slope are typical for Brooklyn, and while there have been recurring pest control issues, recent inspections suggest these have been addressed appropriately as they arise.
