186 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

186 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a 3-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Quincy Estates 186 LLC. The property has experienced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple rodent-related incidents documented in recent years.

Most notably, between 2020 and 2025, there have been numerous rat sightings and evidence of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 showing persistent rat activity, despite some inspections being marked as "Passed." The building has also faced regulatory compliance issues, currently having three active violations with the Department of Buildings for the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports in 2018 and 2019, as well as for a 2017 boiler inspection report. Between 2021 and 2024, the property received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for not filing annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filings from 2024 indicate no reported bedbug infestations or eradications during the specified periods. The building has undergone regular inspections and reporting requirements, with some inspections revealing rat activity but maintaining the requirement for follow-up inspections, particularly after November 2024.

While the building's recent bedbug reporting shows no documented infestations over multiple reporting periods, the persistent rodent activity and current DOB violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The property's historical record shows a pattern of responsive actions to regulatory requirements, though there appears to be room for improvement in maintaining consistent pest control measures and timely documentation of required inspections. The building's management has maintained compliance with some inspection requirements, as evidenced by the "Passed" results in certain inspections, though the recurring rat activity indicates this may be an ongoing issue requiring continued attention.
