483 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit, four-story Old Law Tenement building at 483 9th Street in Park Slope, owned by Gregory and Hanna Madzio, has experienced significant pest management challenges, particularly regarding rodent activity, over the past year. Most notably, from December 2024 through January 2025, there were multiple reported incidents of rodent sightings and signs of infestation, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) documenting five separate complaints during this period alone.

Follow-up inspections in early 2025 confirmed ongoing rat activity, though efforts including bait application were implemented. The building's rodent management history shows a pattern of required interventions, including several bait applications in 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 noting rat activity. The property has maintained an apparently successful bedbug management program, with annual reports filed between 2022 and 2025 showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during each reporting period.

While the building had three housing maintenance code violations cited between 2021 and 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, these appear to have been administrative in nature and were subsequently addressed. The most recent bedbug report filing in April 2025 indicates continued compliance with reporting requirements. The building's historical records (dating back to 2012) show past rodent activity, though relatively regular inspections and management responses have generally addressed these issues, with the property passing compliance inspections in 2012.
