233 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

233 Greene Avenue is a four-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1894, currently operated as Le Grand Condominium in Clinton Hill. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, particularly relating to pest control and heating systems.

In late 2022, there was a significant heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though this issue was reportedly resolved within a few days. More recently, in 2024, there have been documented rodent infestations, with rat activity confirmed during inspections in November 2023 and January 2024, marking a worrying trend as similar findings were also reported during an inspection in December 2020. Despite these issues, the building has maintained an otherwise clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the routine inspections conducted since 2019.

The building's most recent rodent inspection in January 2024 was categorized as "Compliance," suggesting that while rat activity was detected, the management was likely taking steps to address the issue. It's worth noting that the building's age of over 130 years typically requires ongoing maintenance, and the limited number of heating system incidents (only documented once in late 2022) suggests this may not be a chronic issue. However, the recent rat activity and its persistence over multiple years would indicate this requires careful monitoring.
