228 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-family house at 228 Marcus Garvey Blvd in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ellena Byrd, has experienced several significant maintenance and pest control issues since 2019, with varying conditions continuing into 2025. The most recent concerns involve a rat sighting and standing water complaint in September 2024, though no violations were found in the latter case.
The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with varying results including one failed inspection in September 2024 and recorded rat activity in May 2023, though all subsequent inspections passed. Looking back at the building's history, a cluster of serious maintenance issues was documented in late 2019, particularly affecting the second apartment on the second floor, with violations issued for a leaking bathroom ceiling, broken plastered surfaces, and a rodent infestation that required remediation.
These violations were officially certified as addressed in February 2020, though there was a subsequent water leak complaint in November 2019 that could not be verified due to inspection access issues. The property has continued to require ongoing attention to pest control, with inspections showing both improvements and recurring issues, though most recent inspections have passed.
