95 Ross Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The building at 95 Ross Street in Williamsburg, owned by Leopold Teitelbaum, is a three-story, 39-unit structure built in 1993. The property has experienced persistent pest issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of rodent complaints occurring in 2024-2025, including multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted several inspections during this period, with rat activity confirmed in multiple inspections between March 2024 and December 2024, though some inspections resulted in the property passing compliance checks. Earlier in September 2023, there was a notable mosquito infestation reported at the location. Prior to the recent sanitation concerns, the building had documented plumbing issues in 2020, including complaints of heavy water flow and problems with a basin/sink, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The property has a documented history of rodent management actions, with two bait applications recorded in late 2019. While the building is classified as a 2-family house, it clearly accommodates many more units, as evidenced by the inspection records. The persistent nature of both the rodent issues and water-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention required to address both pest control and plumbing infrastructure systems.
