638 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 638 10th Street in South Slope, owned by Joan Sapinsley and constructed in 1895, has experienced notable pest management challenges in recent years. The property has been subject to multiple rodent-related incidents, with the most recent being a rat sighting in January 2023 that resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Between 2023 and early 2024, the building underwent several rodent control measures including multiple bait applications and inspections, with documentation showing rat activity in March and February 2023, though a compliance inspection in February 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building's pest control history has shown some consistency in rodent monitoring and management, with regular inspections and treatments being implemented.

Interestingly, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record between November 2019 and October 2020, with no reported infestations or re-infestations during that period. Building permit records indicate some maintenance activity, with permits issued in 2018 and 2020 for unspecified work, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available data. While the building has faced persistent challenges with rodent control, recent compliance improvements and the absence of other significant complaints or violations in the past year suggest ongoing management of these issues.
