456 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 456 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Hyon Kwon and constructed in 1905, has documented several rodent-related incidents over recent years, with the most recent being a mouse sighting in August 2023. The property has experienced multiple rodent complaints between 2019 and 2023, though all inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in response to these complaints have resulted in "Passed" inspections, except for noted rat activity in January 2021 and June 2019.

The building's infrastructure has seen some issues, particularly in 2018 when there were violations related to the boiler system, including problems with the boiler room air quality, gas meter ventilation, and storage conditions around meters, though these were subsequently addressed with no penalties imposed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past several years, with the most recent 2024-2025 Bedbug Reporting period showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infestation cases.

The building's compliance with housing maintenance codes has generally been satisfactory, with one notable violation in 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings from 2022 through 2025 show no infestations. While the building has experienced recurring rodent issues, the prompt response from health authorities and the lack of violations during inspections suggest these incidents have been addressed appropriately. The consistent reporting of "0" for all bedbug-related metrics over multiple years indicates effective management of this particular concern.
