597 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The five-story building at 597 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ahmed Tabet and constructed in 1931, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. Most concerning is the active pattern of rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, following multiple bait applications throughout 2024-2023 and earlier inspections indicating rat presence.
The property has also garnered attention for multiple housing maintenance violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. Additionally, there are six active violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018-2022, and a prior violation from November 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. The building experienced a power outage in June 2021, which was investigated but resulted in no violations.
There have been several health-related incidents, including food establishment complaints in 2018 regarding rodents/insects/garbage and in 2024 about bare hands in food preparation, both of which were closed after investigation. COVID-19-related complaints were made in April 2020, though inspections found no violations. While the building's owners have received multiple warnings and notifications from various city agencies, the persistence of certain violations, particularly regarding rodent issues and regulatory filings, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
