159 Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, 1874 Old Law Tenement building at 159 Washington Park in Fort Greene, currently owned by the Estate of Hilda Stewart, has experienced only one significant pest-related incident in recent years. In October 2020, there was a tenant-initiated complaint regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests, which was recorded by both 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints system.

However, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution. Following this incident, the building has maintained a strong record of pest management and inspection compliance. An April 2021 Housing Maintenance Code Violation was recorded, citing the owner's requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though no certified date was provided in the records.

Since then, the building has consistently reported zero instances of bedbug infestations in its mandatory annual filings from 2021 through July 2025, with the most recent report showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The building's only recorded rodent inspection in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade. This consistent pattern of clean pest reports over the past four years suggests effective pest management practices have been implemented, though it is notable that the single pest complaint in 2020 remains unresolved due to access issues during inspection.
