468 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 468 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, managed by owner Claudia Bernheim, was constructed in 1996 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in July 2023, a rat sighting was reported and investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found at that time.

The building has been subject to recurring concerns about bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2024 indicate no reported bedbug infestation during the previous filing periods, with 0 infested, eradicated, or re-infested units recorded. The property's rodent history shows a troubling pattern, particularly in 2018 when multiple inspections between April and June recorded rat activity.

During 2017, several bait applications were conducted in response to rodent issues, with inspections showing persistent rat activity. However, recent inspections suggest improvement, with the building passing a rodent inspection in September 2023, indicating that while there have been significant pest control challenges in the past, the situation appears to have stabilized as of late 2023. The building's documented history suggests ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts by the property management, particularly regarding pest control and compliance with reporting requirements, though residents should be aware of the property's prior pest management challenges.
