428 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
This 3-unit, 3-story building located at 428 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, built in 1897 and currently owned by David Smith, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over the past several years. The most recent inspections in late 2024 show ongoing rat activity, with compliance inspections on November 1 and October 8, 2024, both confirming rat presence.
The property has a worrying pattern of rodent-related complaints, with six reported incidents between 2023 and 2024, including three separate complaints about conditions attracting rodents in April, October, and November 2024, all of which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections. Additionally, the building has four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, dating from 2021 to 2024.
There was also an unsanitary condition complaint related to garbage/recycling storage filed in November 2023 with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though this was closed after inspection with no violations issued. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixture of compliance and violation results, with the most recent compliance inspections in 2024 still indicating ongoing rodent activity despite previous inspections showing no such issues. This combination of persistent rodent problems, open bedbug violation history, and sanitation-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
