291 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

291 Nostrand Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Arasun 291 Nostrand LLC. The building has experienced some notable pest control challenges in recent years, particularly with rodent activity. Between May 2024 and July 2025, there were several documented instances of rat activity, though the most recent inspection from May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" rating.

Prior to this period, the property maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports, with all filings between 2019 and 2024 documenting zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. While there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation recorded in March 2022 regarding the timely filing of the bedbug report, this issue appears to have been resolved, as subsequent annual filings have been submitted regularly, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 showing no bedbug activity. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of both compliance and rat activity detections, with the majority of inspections passing.

The most recent rodent control measures appear to be effective, given the "Passed" result in May 2025. The property has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting requirements since the initial violation in 2022, with no recorded instances of bedbug infestations in the past three years. The building's pest management practices show active monitoring and response to rodent issues, with bait application and inspections conducted regularly, though the recurring rat activity suggests ongoing challenges in this area.
