644 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 6-story, 5-unit residential building at 644 Myrtle Avenue, owned by Hershey Fekete and constructed in 1957, has experienced several notable events in recent years. The building underwent significant construction work in 2019, which was associated with multiple Construction Safety Compliance violations, including failures to designate a construction superintendent and safeguard affected areas, though these were ultimately resolved without imposed penalties. Between 2021 and 2024, the property has consistently required annual bedbug report filings, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no infested units, suggesting proper management of this issue.

More recently, rodent activity has been detected in 2025 and 2024, though the building passed its 2024 compliance inspection. Historical data from 2014 and 2022 shows previous successful rodent control efforts. The building's permit history from 2019 indicates multiple issued permits for construction-related work, though specific details of these improvements are not recorded in the provided data.

The property has maintained an active response to regulatory requirements, with regular bedbug reporting compliance, though the need for annual violations to file reports implies initial challenges with documentation. The most pressing recent concern appears to be the re-emergence of rat activity in 2025, following a period of compliance in 2024. The building has transitioned to a Class A designation, indicating its current use as permanent residential housing, and while there have been multiple violations documented over the years, most have been promptly addressed and resolved through proper channels. The records suggest that while the building has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly during construction in 2019, the more recent history shows improved management of pest-related issues, though continued monitoring of rodent activity would be warranted based on recent inspection results.
