437 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 437 16th Street in South Slope, owned by Budija Spahija, has experienced several concerning pest-related issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented rat sightings and violations at the property, with follow-up inspections planned.
These rodent-related problems appear to be persistent, as evidenced by multiple inspections throughout 2024 and into 2025, all documenting rat activity, including a compliance inspection in April 2025 that confirmed ongoing rodent presence. The building's history shows previous pest management challenges, though primarily during the early 2020s, including a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to bedbug reporting requirements.
However, between late 2021 and throughout 2024, the property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its required annual filings, indicating successful eradication and prevention of that particular pest issue. The current focus of concern appears to be centered on the building's rodent control challenges, with multiple documented rat sightings and violations over the past year.
