42 South Portland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The historic three-story building at 42 South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Melanie Rosen, was constructed in 1864 and currently contains two residential units. The property has experienced a few notable pest-related incidents recently.
In March 2023, there was a confirmed rodent sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), leading to follow-up inspections that initially showed rat activity but resulted in compliance approval by April 2023. The building also received a violation notice in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though this violation has since been resolved.
In terms of pest management, the property appears to have maintained a clean record since the 2022-2023 reporting period, with all subsequent bedbug reports (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025 consistently indicates no infestations or related issues, suggesting effective management of this particular concern. While the property faced some pest-related challenges in early 2023, the situation appears to have stabilized, with no further documented rodent or bedbug issues in the past two years.
