660 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 660 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, built in 1905 and owned by Skye Parrott, has experienced several noteworthy incidents and ongoing regulatory requirements over recent years. Most prominently, the building currently has open violations from both 2022 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bed bug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. These violations are particularly concerning as they indicate non-compliance with important pest management protocols.

Rodent-related issues have been a recurring theme, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance, though there was documented rat activity in February 2024. The building has had three bed bug-related inspections between 2021-2024, with the 2021 report showing no infested units during the 2019-2020 period. The property has experienced two significant utility-related incidents, including a power outage in December 2019 (which was investigated and found to have no violations) and a rodent sighting in September 2020 that was similarly investigated with no violations found.

An illegal hotel room complaint was filed in 2018, but no violations were found upon inspection. The building's permit history shows at least two plumbing-related permits were issued in 2020 and 2021. While the building has generally passed most inspections, the persistent bed bug reporting violations and rodent management issues suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing regulations. The most recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have generally resulted in passing grades, with only one instance of rat activity noted in February 2024.
