472 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 472 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Janine Johnson and constructed in 1931, has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control measures, passing all rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025. However, there are two significant ongoing concerns that warrant attention. First, the building has accumulated three open Housing Maintenance Code violations since 2023-2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024.

While the building's official bedbug report for the 2020-2021 period showed no infested units, the recurring violations suggest non-compliance with reporting requirements rather than an actual infestation problem. Secondly, there was a rat sighting reported in October 2024, though this was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations at the time of inspection and confirmed that the property passed inspection. The building's maintenance history shows some past concerns that were resolved.

A gas utility complaint in July 2021 was investigated and found to have no violations, and a plumbing-related complaint from March 2020 was marked as "Access Denied" upon inspection, though no violations were recorded. The property has maintained good standing with regular inspections, particularly in the area of rodent control, where all inspections have been passed consistently over the years. The most recent inspection dates indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance, with successful completion of rodent-related requirements being the primary area of demonstrated compliance.
