297 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 297 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Beatriz Rodriguez, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1910. The building has consistently complied with bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating no current infestations.

However, there was a period of bedbug activity requiring eradication efforts documented in the 2022 report, where four units were treated between November 2020 and October 2021. The property has a history of rodent-related issues, particularly evidenced by a rat sighting complaint in October 2018 that initiated an inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

While subsequent rodent inspections in late 2018 and 2019 passed, the building received four Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. These violations occurred during a period when the building had documented bedbug activity, suggesting some correlation between the reporting requirements and infestation management. The building's code violation history shows an equal number of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (4) as there were documented units needing treatment during the 2022 reporting period.
