145 South Portland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

145 South Portland Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Roderick Chase. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all citing failures to submit the required annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

The building's history also reveals significant rodent control challenges, particularly evident in 2017 when multiple inspections showed rat activity, followed by several bait applications between April and June of that year. While subsequent inspections in late 2017 and mid-2018 passed, the presence of rats and the need for multiple bait applications indicate a persistent vermin issue during that period.

The property had a notable incident in 2019 involving illegal commercial use of the residential premises, specifically related to parking violations where six illegally parked vehicles were observed in the backyard, including some without license plates or registration, though this issue appears to have been resolved with an Oath Violation served. The building has been subject to regular inspections and monitoring by city agencies, including a rat inspection in July 2018 which passed. The pattern of bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing administrative compliance challenges, while the historical rodent activity, though less frequent in recent years, indicates this has been a documented issue in the past.
