14 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 14 Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Donato Dagosto, has faced ongoing pest management challenges over recent years, particularly concerning bedbugs and rodent issues. Most notably, there are multiple open violations as of 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, with inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 all noting this same violation.

The building's rodent problem appears persistent, with the most recent complaint in August 2024 noting an inaccessible inspection by DOHMH, following an earlier rodent sighting in 2021 which resulted in violations that required follow-up inspections. The property has undergone two rodent inspections in 2021, one showing initial rat activity and the other in November 2021 passing compliance.

The building's pest management history shows some progress, with a 2021 bedbug report showing eradication of all 8 infested units (with no re-infestations reported), though the open violations regarding bedbug reporting suggest ongoing compliance issues. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building was filed in July 2019, though this was closed due to inspector access issues. While the property has passed certain inspections, the recurring nature of both rodent and bedbug-related issues, combined with the open violations, indicates that pest management remains an ongoing concern for this century-old building.
