118 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 118 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Ronald Mclaren and constructed in 1892, has experienced several notable pest-related challenges over recent years. Most concerning is the most recent rat activity reported in June 2025, though this marks a shift from previous inspections which generally passed.

The building had documented rodent sightings in 2021, leading to inspections from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though these earlier incidents were ultimately resolved without finding violations. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings from 2021 through 2024 showing zero reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestations. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of regular inspections for both rodents and bedbugs, with 2025 marking the first recorded rat activity since 2021.

While there was an attempted Department of Buildings inspection in 2018 that required a second final attempt for access, this is the only access-related issue on record. The building has generally maintained a satisfactory record for both rodent and bedbug compliance, with the exception of the most recent rat activity in 2025. The consistent filing of bedbug reports with zero infestations recorded demonstrates proactive compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the recent rat activity suggests attention may be needed in maintaining pest control systems.
