259 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit building at 259 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shirajul Mustafa, has experienced several notable issues since 2018, with the most recent concerns centering around rodent presence and health compliance. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a confirmed rodent sighting, though a subsequent April 2025 inspection resulted in a passing grade. The building has maintained a consistent record of meeting annual bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025).

Historical violations from 2018 primarily focused on safety concerns, including the need to address exposed electrical wires in first-floor apartment bathroom and requirements to post various safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and housing information. Compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024 generally showed good standing, with the exception of April 2024 and December 2024 when rat activity was noted. A construction-related complaint from November 2019 was investigated but no violations were found.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety and compliance issues, with most violations being corrected and closed. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections over the years, though some initial inspections have shown rat activity. The consistent submission of bedbug reports indicating zero infestations suggests active management of common pest issues, though the building's age (constructed in 1899) and history of building code violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has regularly undergone inspections related to both health department and housing maintenance requirements, demonstrating engagement with regulatory oversight.
