AI summary · updated June 2026

The 3-unit, 3-story old-law tenement at 184 Rockaway Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yehuda Zargarov, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over the past decade. Most notably, from 2015 through 2021, there were multiple documented instances of rat activity, with inspections in July, September, October, December 2015, and May 2021 all showing evidence of rodent presence. The building faced similar challenges in 2020-2021, with Health Department complaints regarding rats and unsanitary conditions related to pests. While the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements consistently since 2020, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, there was a violation noted in March 2023 regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report—though no current violation status is indicated.

Recent service requests include a 2021 complaint about food establishment-related rodent issues that was closed in 2024, and a 2020 unsanitary condition complaint that could not be inspected and was subsequently closed. Despite these historical pest control challenges, the current bedbug reporting shows no active infestations, and there have been no documented rat activity findings since the last reported complaint resolution in 2024. The property appears to have entered a period of improved pest management, though the significant number of historical rodent issues warrants attention to ongoing maintenance practices.
