70 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

70 Patchen Avenue is a 19-unit, four-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Felix Kunle and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past few years, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 confirming rat activity.

There have been multiple DOHMH complaints and violations related to rodents, with follow-up inspections revealing ongoing pest control needs. The property had several significant infrastructure challenges between 2020 and 2021, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD for both apartment-specific and building-wide failures.

The building's maintenance history shows some persistent issues, including a pattern of heat and hot water complaints in late 2020 through early 2021, and various violations requiring attention to building safety features such as the entrance door lock in 2020. While recent bedbug reporting from 2024 shows no current infestations, with zero infested units reported in multiple consecutive filings, there was an active violation in 2023 related to the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with bait application noted in October 2024 and March 2023, indicating ongoing efforts to manage pest control despite recurring rat activity findings.
