43 Rockaway Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This three-story, two-family house located at 43 Rockaway Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant has undergone several concerning maintenance issues since its construction in 2008. The most notable recent concerns center around a rodent infestation problem reported in June 2022, which resulted in violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the specific conditions that attracted the rodents were not detailed in the records.

Between October 2021 and January 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, mold, and pest infestations, with all these complaints being closed due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. An earlier incident in December 2019 involved a building-wide heat and hot water complaint, categorized as an emergency, which was also closed without access being granted for inspection.

Despite these historical issues, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infestations, successful eradications, or re-infestations, indicating improved pest control measures. A debris-related complaint was filed in October 2021, though this was also closed due to access denial after two inspection attempts in November 2021. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges in the past, the more recent bedbug report and lack of similar complaints in the past two years suggests some improvement in property management, though the pattern of access denial to inspection requests in previous complaints is notable.
