54 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

54 Patchen Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1899 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The property, currently owned by Amritpal Hora, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant being a February 2023 complaint regarding an illegal conversion, which was investigated in March 2023 and resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

Following this, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued on March 17, 2023, regarding unauthorized occupancy of the cellar rear room, which had been designated as accessory storage, laundry, and heating space according to official records. Fortunately, this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's pest control track record shows consistent management of bedbug reporting, with no infestations or eradication cases reported in the past five years (2020-2024), as evidenced by multiple consecutive filings indicating zero affected units.

More recently, rodent inspections have revealed a variable pattern of rodent activity, with two instances of rat activity noted in late 2023 (November 3) and late 2024 (October 31), while all other inspections from 2021 through 2025 have resulted in "Passed" status. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 indicated compliance with rodent control regulations. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance and has generally demonstrated good maintenance of common areas, though the occasional rat activity noted in inspections suggests ongoing challenges with vermin control in certain areas of the building.
