54 Downing Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

54 Downing Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1870. The property, currently owned by Cara Lyn Page, has experienced several recurring pest-related issues over the past few years.

Most notably, there have been multiple documented rat sightings in 2021, with three separate complaints in August and December of that year, all of which were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and confirmed rat activity on at least two occasions (August 20 and December 8 inspections). The building has also received four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 regarding non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, all of which remain open as of April 2024. Additional recent activity includes two "Sweep" inspections in March and May 2022, which were conducted with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

While these inspections did not reveal any specific issues, the persistent rodent problems and open bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's record indicates a pattern of pest-related concerns, particularly between 2021 and 2024, with no documented resolution to the bedbug reporting violation as of the latest inspection. The property, classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," appears to be a typical multi-unit residential building for its age and location but has faced notable challenges regarding compliance with health and maintenance requirements.
