This four-story, two-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, owned by Roslyn Huebener and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable pest-related issues over the past five years. Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with the most recent annual report filed in January 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. However, there was a period of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2023, resulting in three "class A" Housing Maintenance Code violations, though these have since been addressed.
The building has had a documented history of rodent-related problems, particularly between 2018 and 2021, with multiple inspections and complaints. The most significant recent rodent activity occurred in 2021, when a June inspection failed for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections in July 2021 and earlier in 2020 passed. The property has also had two rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2020, with one resulting in an inspection that found no violations. While the building has had its share of pest-related challenges, the most recent inspections indicate improved conditions, and the absence of bedbug infestations for over two years.
