451 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 451 Marion Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Eyal Ovadia, has been in operation since 1905 and has experienced several notable incidents regarding pest control and rodent activity over recent years. The most recent inspection period from November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no bedbug activity, continuing a consistent pattern of no infestation complaints since comprehensive reporting began. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting every year since 2021, with all reports showing zero infested units, which suggests effective management of this particular pest issue.

In terms of rodent control, there have been two significant incidents worth noting. In May 2022, a rat sighting was reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resulting in violations on the property and follow-up inspections. An initial inspection in late May 2022 revealed rat activity, though this was subsequently addressed with a compliance inspection in June 2022 which resulted in a passing grade.

Prior to this, the property maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, with successful inspections in 2017 and 2018. While the building is now free of both rodent and bedbug issues as of 2025, the 2022 rodent incidents and associated violations mark the most significant recent concern regarding resident safety and comfort. The property has demonstrated compliance with municipal inspection requirements, passing all subsequent rodent inspections following the May 2022 incident, and has maintained an ongoing record of bedbug-free status for the past four years.
