448 Park Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 448 Park Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by 446-448 Park Realty Corp, has experienced several concerning pest-related issues in recent years. Most notably, rodent activity appears to be an ongoing challenge for this property, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 (January and February) documenting rat activity.

Prior instances of rodent problems were also recorded in mid-2024, as well as in July 2021, though some inspections resulted in passing grades or failed for other reasons. The building's rodent issues have resulted in multiple DOHMH inspections and citations over the years, including an open violation as of December 2024 related to a rat sighting. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD regulations.

This citation follows a pattern of such violations over multiple years (2021-2022), though the building's bedbug filing for the period between November 2021 and October 2022 indicated no infested or eradicated units. While the building passed several rodent inspections between 2019 and 2022, the recent pattern of violations and pest activity suggests ongoing challenges with pest management that may impact resident comfort. The most recent inspection data available indicates active efforts by city agencies to monitor and address these issues, with follow-up inspections scheduled in response to recent violations.
