77 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 77 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Sam Livingston and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent pest control challenges over recent years, particularly with rodent activity. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in May 2024 and May 2025 showing "Passed" results, suggesting recent improvements in rodent control. However, between 2022 and 2023, there were several instances of documented rat activity, with bait being applied in multiple instances during 2021-2022.

The building also experienced bedbug issues, with one infested unit reported in the 2023-2024 filing period, though this was an improvement from the previous year's infestation which involved one unit that was subsequently eradicated. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to compliance matters, including a Housing Maintenance Code violation in March 2022 related to the requirement for annual bedbug reporting, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent filings. A tenant safety inspection conducted in January 2021 found no violations at the time of inspection.

The property has had regular rodent inspections and attempted mitigation measures, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene receiving multiple complaints about rodent conditions between 2020 and 2021. Permits for work were issued in January 2021 and October 2020, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. While there have been significant pest control challenges in recent years, the most recent inspections indicate some improvement in both rodent control and bedbug management, though the building's historical data shows this has been an ongoing issue requiring regular attention.
