458 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

458 15th Street, a four-story New Law Tenement built in 1905 in South Slope, is currently owned by Alfred Sayegh and contains 8 residential units. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2023, including several rat sightings and mouse sightings in June 2023 alone. Recent inspections show both rodent activity and compliance inspections, with the most recent being a 2023-11-16 Compliance inspection that passed.

The property has also received multiple Department of Buildings violations in 2023 for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2020, which remain active as of this writing. While the building experienced a heat/hot water emergency in October 2018, housing maintenance complaints have been relatively minimal. Interestingly, despite the rodent issues, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past five reporting periods (2020-2025), with zero infested units reported in the most recent filings from December 2024, December 2023, and November 2022.

During 2019-2020, there were reports of bedbug infestations in 9 units, but these were eradicated. The building's consistent rodent inspection activities in 2021, with multiple bait applications, suggest active management of the rodent problem, though the recent resurgence of complaints in 2023 indicates ongoing challenges with pest control. The combination of recent violated inspection requirements and recurring pest complaints suggests continued attention will be required to maintain building standards and resident comfort.
