166 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
166 Monroe Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1899 and currently owned by Etai Vardi, the property has experienced recurring rodent issues in recent years, with the most recent rat sighting reported in September 2024 prompting violations from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The building has undergone numerous rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with mixed results showing both compliance and active rat activity in 2024. Notably, the property had a gas utility-related complaint in January 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. The building's pest control history shows no recorded bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2022, with all reporting periods indicating zero affected units and successful eradication efforts.
The property underwent several permitted work activities in 2018, including electrical and plumbing-related projects, as indicated by multiple permits issued in July and December of that year. While the building has consistently passed most initial rodent inspections, the recurring nature of rat activity and recent health violations warrants attention. The most recent inspection in March 2025 resulted in passing compliance.
