981 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit residential building at 981 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joel Waldman, is a 3-story old law tenement constructed in 1899. The building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, despite a violation in April 2021 for not filing the annual report on time.
The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, was submitted in June 2025, continuing the trend of no recorded infestations. However, there has been a concerning development regarding rodent activity; a rat activity inspection in July 2025 marked a significant deviation from the building's otherwise clean record.
Prior to this, the building had consistently passed rodent inspections from 2020 through the first half of 2025, with all inspections between January 2022 and January 2025 showing no violations. The most recent inspection-as least recorded in the data-stands out as the sole failure in an otherwise commendable history of pest management, particularly in comparison to the building's perfect track record with bedbug containment.
