382 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 382 Kosciuszko Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yehuda Cohen, has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past two years, with the most recent inspections showing regular rat activity patterns. Between late 2023 and mid-2025, there were multiple instances of rat activity, with inspections in April 2024 and December 2024 showing ongoing rodent presence despite bait applications.

The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to pest control measures, as evidenced by a passed initial rodent inspection in April 2025, though this was a significant time after most previous concerns. The building's history shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all four annual filings between 2021 and 2024 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue.

However, the property received violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though these violations were later closed. A notable recent complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in April 2023 regarding a rat sighting, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. While some rodent control measures have been implemented, including multiple bait applications throughout 2024, the recurring rat activity suggests ongoing challenges with pest management in the building despite recent improvements in inspection results and compliance.
