198 Norman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 198 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Marcin Selwa, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years. While the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all recent reports from 2022 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, there have been two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the late filing of annual bedbug reports.

These violations were subsequently closed. The property has faced more significant issues with rodent control, particularly evident in 2017 when multiple inspections revealed rat activity between June and July, leading to a series of baiting treatments during that period. The building's rodent situation appeared to improve over time, with inspections in 2018 and 2024 showing passing results.

However, a February 2024 rodent inspection did result in a failure for "Other Reasons," indicating some lingering concerns, though this was followed by a passing compliance inspection in March 2024. Most recently, in January 2025, the building passed a rodent inspection, suggesting improved pest management practices. The consistent update of bedbug reports and the recent passing of rodent inspections indicate that while the building has had historical pest management challenges, the situation appears to be stabilizing.
