153 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit building at 153 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Pamela Trunk, has experienced several notable maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most significantly, there has been persistent attention required for both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent-related issues. The building's bedbug reporting history shows an annual pattern of violations from 2021 to 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in June 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicated no infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful mitigation of these pests, though the pattern of previous violations indicates this was not initially addressed promptly. The rodent inspection history presents a more complicated picture. The building has undergone multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, with several showing evidence of rat activity.

Notably, in late 2024, there were three consecutive instances (December) of bait application, following a November compliance inspection that revealed rat activity. The most recent inspection in June 2025 resulted in a passing status, indicating potential improvement in this area, although there was a rat activity indication in the April 2025 inspection. The building, constructed in 1899, has shown consistent efforts to address these pest control issues, with recent inspections suggesting some stabilization of both bedbug and rodent matters, though the historical pattern of violations highlights ongoing maintenance challenges.
