655 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 655 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jayde Okunubi and constructed in 2009, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, though the situation appears to have improved significantly as of early 2025. While the building received its Certificate of Occupancy in 2009 (with Certificate of Completion issued in 2013), inspection records show a persistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2023, with Housing Maintenance Code violations issued annually for failure to file required reports.

However, significantly, the most recent bedbug report from March 2024 indicates zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, suggesting successful resolution of this particular issue. The building's rodent management history shows a somewhat mixed picture, with regular inspections conducted approximately every six months from 2020 through 2025.

Notably, while most inspections have passed without incident, there was one recorded instance of "Rat Activity" in February 2024, and a rodent-related complaint was filed with the Department of Health in 2019, though this complaint was ultimately closed. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including two passed inspections in early 2025 and August 2024, indicating improved rodent control measures currently in place. The most recent inspections suggest that while both bedbug and rodent issues have required ongoing attention in the past, current conditions as of early 2025 show significant improvement in pest management compliance.
