460 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

460 9th Street in Brooklyn's South Slope neighborhood is a 3-story, 4-unit building constructed in 1884, currently owned by Elliott Korb. The property has experienced persistent pest-related issues, particularly between late 2018 and 2019, with multiple rodent sightings and signs of activity reported through 311 service requests during this period, including five documented complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between December 2018 and August 2019.

Though rodent baiting was conducted multiple times in early 2019, initial inspections in December 2018 and August 2019 recorded rat activity. More recently, the building has faced ongoing regulatory compliance issues regarding mandatory bedbug reporting, with open Class A violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to failures to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The building's bedbug infestation history shows three consecutive reporting periods (2018-2019, 2019-2020, and 2020-2021) with no units reported infested.

A recent complaint from November 2023 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling was investigated but resulted in no violation being warranted. The most recent rodent inspections from 2019 showed a mix of rat activity and compliance pass results, with one initial inspection in August 2019 noting rat activity. While the building has generally maintained bedbug-free status in its reporting periods, the failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing management oversight issues, and the historical rodent problems from 2018-2019 demonstrate past pest control challenges, though these appear to have improved since 2019 based on available inspection data.
