1 Brevoort Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, five-unit building at 1 Brevoort Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Kathryn Lightner, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues since 2023. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity.
The most recent rat sighting was reported in April 2025, following similar complaints in July 2024, with the Department of Health issuing violations and scheduling follow-up inspections. The building's maintenance history also includes two emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints from October 2023 regarding heavy water flow and ceiling damage, though these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and no violations were issued. The property has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations, with annual reports filed from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and no evidence of re-infestation.
While one bedbug-related violation was noted in 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual report, it was certified as corrected later that month. The building's overall condition has been marked by recurring pest control challenges, particularly the rat activity which has persisted despite multiple inspections and compliance checks. The most recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have shown similar patterns of rodent activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management at the property.
