404 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, 1-unit building at 404 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Sam Mah, has a significant history of pest-related issues, particularly regarding bedbugs and rodents. Since 2021, the property has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. More recently, in October 2023, there was a rodent complaint that led to a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection, although no violations were found at that time.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded in 2016, including initial findings of rat activity in March and compliance checks throughout the year. The most recent rodent inspection in December 2023 was passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building's permit records show several issued permits between 2018-2020, including work categorized under Plumbing (PL), Elevator (EQ), and other general maintenance tasks (EW, AL).

These permits suggest ongoing maintenance and potentially upgrading efforts during that period. Despite the property's age (dating back to 1899), which typically comes with its own set of maintenance challenges, the primary concerns documented in recent years revolve around pest management compliance rather than structural or safety issues. The property has demonstrated some level of responsiveness to pest management, as evidenced by the recent passed inspection in December 2023, though the repeated bedbug report violations indicate ongoing challenges with meeting all housing maintenance requirements.
