213 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 213 Kosciuszko Street, owned by Gustavo Rodriguez and constructed in 2004, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past few years, with the most recent unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests filed in late 2024-early 2025. The property has had multiple unsuccessful HPD inspection attempts to access and verify these complaints in 2023 and 2024, though there was one completed inspection in March 2023 that resulted in violations being issued.

While the building's recent bedbug reporting from late 2023 shows no current infestations (with three units previously treated), it's worth noting that there are several open HPD violations as of October 2024 related to safety equipment, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the third-floor apartment, along with requirements for proper notices regarding emergency procedures and housing information. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2025 that have all passed, though earlier inspections in 2024-2025 had noted rat activity, and bait was applied in March 2024. Notably, a bedbug infestation report filed in July 2025 recorded zero current infestations with all previously infested units having been treated.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest-related complaints and violations, particularly focused on the third-floor apartment, which has been cited for both pest and smoke detector issues. The property has maintained compliance through regular rodent inspections, with all recent audits showing no active infestations as of mid-2025. While the building was initially constructed in 2004 and has been subject to various inspections and complaints over its history, the current focus appears to be on addressing the remaining open violations from the October 2024 inspection regarding safety equipment and posting requirements, as well as continuing to monitor and manage any residual pest issues, despite the recent successful treatment reports.
