9 Arlington Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

9 Arlington Place is a historic three-story, three-unit brownstone building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by Beatrice Boyce. The building has experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD as mandated by section HMC:FILE.

While these violations themselves do not necessarily indicate an active infestation, they suggest a pattern of noncompliance with bedbug reporting requirements. In terms of rodent activity, the most recent inspection in July 2025 revealed rat activity within the building, marking a significant concern for resident safety and comfort.

This followed a pattern of generally passing rodent inspections, with only one out of eleven inspections since February 2020 showing any sign of rat activity (specifically the July 2025 inspection), though it's worth noting that rodent presence can vary significantly over time. The building's documented history shows consistent rodent inspections every six months since 2020, with the period between 2020-2024 showing mostly passing results, with the exception of the most recent inspection. The property has a mix of persistent administrative compliance issues (bedbug report violations) and recent emerging concerns (rodent activity), while maintaining a generally regular schedule of inspections and monitoring through the years.
