519 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 10-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 519 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Abe Green, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related incidents, with the most recent being a rat sighting in February 2025 that resulted in violations being recorded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Prior to this, there were similar rodent complaints in 2024 (April and February), though each of these complaints was closed without violations being found during inspections.

The building's pest control history includes regular bedbug reporting since 2021, with no confirmed infestations reported in the last five filing periods, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property has also faced some maintenance challenges, including a heat and hot water violation in November 2021 affecting apartment 3B, which was subsequently addressed and closed. Several violations of various codes were recorded in November 2021, all of which were related to building safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to post proper notices regarding fire safety, smoke detectors, and building registration information.

These violations were certified as resolved by November 2021. Following a series of rodent inspections between 2015 and 2025, the most recent compliance inspection in May 2025 indicated rat activity on the premises, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining pest-free conditions. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and history of violations indicate a property that requires regular attention to both pest management and general maintenance issues, though many past violations have been addressed through proper channels.
