827 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 8-unit, 3-story building at 827 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by V Rigg, has experienced recurring rodent issues despite demonstrating compliance with city inspections. Most recently, in April 2023, a rat sighting was reported and investigated, resulting in only minor violations being found.

The building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past two years, with multiple initial inspections showing no rat activity, though there was one instance in September 2023 that noted rat activity. Notably, there are two important infrastructure compliance matters to consider: an active violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, and a recurring Housing Maintenance Code violation related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 and 2023.

However, according to the building's bedbug reporting records, which have been consistently filed between 2020 and 2024, there have been no documented instances of bedbug infestations or eradications in any of the reporting periods, suggesting effective compliance with this particular requirement once the administrative violations were addressed. The building's age (built in 1884) and conversion status as "Hereafter Converted Class A" indicate this is a converted residential property, though specific details of the conversion are not provided in the available data.
