496 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story building at 496 9th Street in South Slope, owned by Henry Azcue and built in 1882, has generally maintained a good record over recent years, though there are several notable points of interest. Most recently, in September 2024, the property underwent a rodent inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in a passing grade with no violations found.

The building has demonstrated strong bedbug management practices, with its most recent bedbug report (October 2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the 2022-2023 reporting period. This pattern of effective bedbug management has been consistent in previous reports dating back to 2020, during which the building maintained a clean record with no reported infestations. The property has undergone some permitted work in recent years, with multiple plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) permits being issued in 2019 (February and March) and 2020 (August), suggesting regular maintenance and improvements.

However, there were two violations noted regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2023, though these appear to have been administrative in nature, as subsequent filings consistently showed no infestations. The building experienced one rodent sighting complaint in September 2024, though this was investigated and resulted in no violations. Overall, the building's recent history suggests active management and compliance with health and safety requirements, particularly in terms of pest management and maintenance reporting.
