122 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

122 Clinton Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Maria Soares. The property has a significant and ongoing rodent infestation problem, with the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 all documenting rat activity. The building has experienced at least 10 confirmed rodent-related incidents since 2021, with multiple service requests to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between July and December 2024 alone.

Of particular note is a cluster of complaints in late 2024, including four consecutive reports between July and October 2024, all noting conditions attracting rodents. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, with three open violations from 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. While the 2021 bedbug filing period indicated no infested units, the presence of ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggests potential concerns in this area as well. The property has undergone several inspections over the past years, with mixed outcomes.

While the building passed a rodent inspection in January 2022, subsequent inspections have documented persistent rodent activity. The most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 continue to show rat activity, indicating an unresolved infestation problem. The building's history is punctuated by regular monitoring and multiple violations related to both rodent and bedbug concerns, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management and compliance with housing maintenance regulations. The concentration of rodent-related complaints in late 2024, along with the open bedbug reporting violations, represents the most significant current issues affecting the property.
