588 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, five-unit building at 588 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Vincent Whitelock and constructed in 1905, has experienced persistent pest management challenges in recent years. Of particular note is the building's ongoing struggle with bedbug compliance - from 2021 to 2024, the property received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, all of which remain open.
The building's rodent management history shows a pattern of activity, with significant rodent-related incidents occurring in 2023, including multiple bait applications and documented rat activity in March 2023, followed by an initial rat sighting complaint in July 2022 that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. While the most recent rodent inspections from 2023 through May 2025 have passed, they followed a period of documented pest activity and intervention.
The property has maintained records showing zero infested dwelling units and units that were eradicated or re-infested in its 2019 bedbug report, covering the 2017-2018 period. While there have been improvements in rodent inspection results more recently, the persistent bedbug reporting violations and historical rodent activity suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
