687 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-family, three-story building at 687 10th Street in South Slope, owned by Bala Sury and constructed in 1888, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent issues, with mouse and rat sightings reported in May and June 2025, though a June 2025 inspection passed without violations.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past four reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, showing zero infested or eradicated units in the official bedbug reports, and the most recent April 2024 inspection followed up on a prior violation from 2023 regarding late bedbug reporting requirements. The property faced significant safety concerns in late 2019, when two Environmental Control Board violations were issued related to an unsafe scaffold condition, with one violation carrying a penalty of $2,500 for missing guardrails, toeboards, and other structural issues posing hazards to residents.

While these violations were resolved, they indicate a period of construction-related safety concerns. Additional complaints were recorded in 2019 regarding excessive debris and construction enforcement, though these were either dismissed upon inspection or resolved without any lasting penalties. The Department of Health's Rodent Portal indicates inspections were conducted in response to the 2025 rodent complaints, though previous inspections of the property have generally resulted in no findings of violations or concerns.
