929 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, two-unit building at 929 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Kingston Capital LLC, has been experiencing persistent rodent issues over the past two years. The property, built in 1896 and currently classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B, has documented 16 rodent-related complaints between December 2023 and February 2025, including sightings, signs of rodents, and conditions attracting rodents.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has conducted multiple inspections, with recent reports in 2025 showing continued rat activity despite bait application. The building has also received three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024 for not filing required annual bedbug reports, though these violations are marked as closed. Additional historical information includes a December 2021 complaint regarding the building being vacant, open, and unguarded, which was determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.

The most recent inspections in early 2025 indicate ongoing rodent activity, with compliance inspections showing rat presence and bait being applied regularly. A significant intervention occurred in April 2025 when the building became subject to the "Rat Mitigation Program," which may have included more intensive extermination and monitoring efforts. The persistence of rodent issues, despite multiple inspections and treatments, suggests an ongoing challenge with vermin control at this property, which has required continual monitoring and intervention by city agencies.
