471 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, 8-unit residential building at 471 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Laurie Kefalidis and constructed in 1931, has shown a pattern of consistent pest management monitoring over the past several years. Most notably, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports from 2019 through 2024 (a total of six annual filings) showing zero infested dwelling units, and no cases of eradicated or re-infested units.

This suggests effective pest control measures have been implemented and maintained throughout the building's occupancy period. The building's rodent inspection history presents a more complex picture.

While recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed successfully, there have been multiple instances of rat activity noted between 2017 and 2023, including inspections in May 2023, February 2023, November 2022, and September 2017, where initial inspections or compliance checks indicated some level of rodent presence. However, the most recent inspections indicate improvement, suggesting that the building management has taken steps to address and mitigate the rodent issue, which appears to have been more prevalent in earlier years. The building's overall age, combined with these documented pest management efforts, indicates active maintenance of residential standards, though the historical rodent activity suggests this has been an ongoing challenge requiring sustained attention.
