170 Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY 11205

170 Washington Park is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, owned by Stanley Zielin and constructed in 1905. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, particularly between 2018 and 2022, with multiple complaints and inspections showing consistent rat activity. Most notably, in 2022 there were three consecutive complaints within August and September regarding rodent conditions, followed by compliance inspections confirming rat activity in July and August of that year.

The building experienced a significant incident in 2021 involving an illegal conversion violation, where modifications were made to create a duplex apartment with unauthorized plumbing work, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that appears to have been resolved. The building has shown relatively good bedbug management practices, as evidenced by six consecutive annual reports from 2019 to 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during their respective reporting periods. The most recent building records from 2023 indicate no ongoing rodent issues, with the most recent violations being related to bedbug reporting requirements (which were subsequently closed).

The history of rodent complaints, while concerning, appears to have improved in recent years, with no new complaints or violations recorded since 2022. Regular baiting operations were documented in 2019, suggesting active management of the rodent problem during that period. The building class is listed as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating some form of conversion from its original configuration, which aligns with the 2021 illegal conversion complaint.
