44 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 44 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lior Raviv, has experienced several significant pest-related issues over recent years. Most notably, the property has undergone multiple rodent and bedbug inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most concerning recent events occurring in 2023 when multiple rodent complaints were filed in May, resulting in Health Department violations and follow-up inspections.
The building has a documented pattern of needing to address rodent issues, with a mix of passed and failed inspections throughout 2023-2024, including an initial inspection in August 2023 that showed rat activity and a failed inspection in May 2023 for unspecified reasons. However, the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have shown improved results, with the building passing all recent inspections. The property has also faced challenges with bedbug compliance, having received Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have been resolved as indicated by the most recent filings.
As of mid-2025, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with the most recent three annual filings (2022-2025) showing zero infested units. An unrelated complaint about an illegal conversion was filed in May 2022, though this was investigated and determined to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building, constructed in 1899, is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure and has been subject to designated rodent and bedbug inspections according to NYC housing regulations, with recent improvements suggesting better pest management practices are being followed.
