123 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, four-unit building at 123 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill, owned by Vickie Archer, has experienced several public health and safety concerns over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, the property faced multiple rodent-related incidents, with inspections conducted in February and March both revealing rat activity.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) responded to two separate complaints in early 2025, one regarding "Signs of Rodents" and another for a "Rat Sighting". The building's pest management history shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in any of the three most recent annual filings (2021-2024). Earlier Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2023, which were closed, primarily related to the requirement of filing annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to be more procedural than indicative of an active infestation.

The building's pest control history shows relatively effective management of bedbugs, with consistent reporting of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in the past three years. However, the recent rodent activity, as evidenced by the initial and compliance inspections in February and March 2025, suggests an ongoing concern that may require further monitoring. The property has met its annual bedbug reporting obligations in recent years, as evidenced by the filings through 2024, though the inspections showing rat activity indicate that while bedbug management appears to be under control, other pest issues may require attention.
