424 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 424 Prospect Place in Crown Heights, owned by Samy Brahimy, has shown consistent attention to pest management over the past decade. The property has maintained a perfect record in its annual bedbug inspections from 2019 through 2024, with no infested units reported in any of the ten annual filings.

However, recent rodent inspections reveal some concern, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 noting rat activity, following a pattern of passing inspections in 2024 and 2023. This marks a change from a generally stable pest management record, as the building had previously maintained rodent-free conditions from 2011 through 2021, with only one failed inspection noted in 2011 for unspecified reasons. The building's pest control history shows proactive management of bedbug inspections, with consistent reporting and no infestations documented since 2019.

The sudden appearance of rat activity in 2025 represents the first recorded rodent issue in several years, though it was preceded by two consecutive passing inspections. This emerging rodent issue should be monitored, though it currently appears to be an isolated incident within a historically well-managed pest control framework. The building's age (built in 1931) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its historic character, and while the property has maintained general compliance with pest reporting requirements, the recent rodent activity warrants attention to ensure it doesn't develop into a more significant problem.
