20 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
20 Patchen Avenue is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Abraham Sagy. The building has experienced ongoing bedbug reporting violations over the past several years, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug report filed (for the period 2021-2022) indicated zero infested units. The property has also faced significant construction-related issues, particularly during 2018-2019, with multiple stop work orders issued and subsequently rescinded.
These included violations for unsafe material storage and inadequate housekeeping, resulting in several Environmental Control Board penalties totaling approximately $8,462. Recent inspections have shown persistent rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though initial inspections in 2025 passed. The building's permit history shows active construction work between 2019-2024, with various permits issued for plumbing and other work.
Of particular note is a pattern of rat activity and bait application between 2023 and 2024, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown improved conditions. The property has undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections, with several complaints investigated but ultimately finding no violations in 2018-2019. While many historical violations have been resolved, the ongoing bedbug reporting noncompliance and recent rodent activity suggest continued attention to building maintenance is required. The most recent construction permits issued in 2024 indicate active management of building systems and ongoing maintenance efforts.
