840 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

840 Greene Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jinkai Gao and constructed in 1899. The property has demonstrated ongoing attention to pest management, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent control, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passed rodent inspections and no current infestations. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025 consistently shows zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective management of this issue.

However, the property experienced significant rodent-related concerns between 2020 and 2021, with multiple rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and initial investigations in September 2020, January 2021, and September 2021 confirming rat activity. These incidents resulted in violations and required follow-up inspections, though more recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed. In terms of general maintenance issues, the building has had minimal problems, with only two housing code complaints related to cooking gas in June 2019, which were investigated but resulted in no violations being found.

The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by annual filings through 2025, despite receiving violation notices in all four years from 2021 to 2024 for failing to submit the report on time. These violations were subsequently corrected, and the most recent filing for the period ending October 31, 2024, shows zero infested units. While the building has faced some pest-related challenges in the past, particularly with rodents, the situation appears to have stabilized in recent years, with current inspections showing proper management and maintenance practices being followed.
