620 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

620 Manhattan Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Greenpoint, owned by Elzbieta Klimczak and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past several years, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 (April and March) both confirming rat activity.

The building's management has actively addressed these infestations through bait applications as documented in multiple inspections between 2017 and 2018, though the persistence of these problems suggests an ongoing challenge. Notably, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has responded to multiple food establishment complaints regarding potential health concerns, including recent incidents in 2025 and 2024, though these were determined to be isolated cases or were closed after inspection. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024 shows no reported infestations during the required annual filings, which suggests compliance with this particular housing maintenance requirement.

The property did have a class A violation in March 2023 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been subsequently addressed. While the building has maintained proper documentation showing zero infested or eradicated units in its bedbug reporting, the ongoing rodent activity noted in recent inspections indicates a more persistent structural maintenance concern. The combination of recent health department interventions and the pattern of rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control, despite some apparent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
