133 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The two-family house at 133 Decatur Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Earl Davis, has a concerning history of rodent-related issues, particularly evident from 2023 through mid-2025. The most recent incident occurred in June 2025, continuing a pattern of complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) that began in 2024.

Between April and July 2024 alone, there were eight documented rodent-related complaints, including sightings and conditions attracting rodents. One notable violation was recorded on April 4, 2024, when an inspection found violations warranting further follow-up inspections. The building's non-rodent-related complaint history shows a brief period of vacancy in May 2023, though this complaint was resolved quickly with no violations found, and there is one active Department of Buildings violation from March 2020, though specific details are not provided in the records.

The property's documented issues suggest persistent challenges with pest control, particularly in 2024 when multiple complaints were filed in close succession. While the most recent complaints in 2025 indicate that these issues remain ongoing, it is worth noting that all DOHMH complaints were ultimately closed, with the agency referencing earlier complaints as part of their resolution process. The building's age (constructed in 1885) and classification as a two-family house, though not directly related to these issues, provide context for its historical setting in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.
