239 Kingsland Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by John Imperatore. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple reports of rat sightings and signs of rodents, including several complaints between March and May 2025 that prompted multiple rounds of bait application by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed continued rat activity, with the most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 confirming the presence of rats. The building has also faced recurring issues with unsanitary garbage and recycling storage conditions, particularly evident in 2022-2023. Multiple complaints were filed through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code mechanisms regarding these conditions, resulting in violations being issued in some cases.
A comprehensive inspection on May 23, 2022, revealed several maintenance issues, including unsafe electrical wiring, maintenance of garbage storage areas, and various building system requirements. While many violations have been closed, certain maintenance concerns were noted, including an open violation regarding the posting of heating system keyholder information. The building's management has maintained bedbug reporting compliance, with no documented infestations in the past three reporting periods, with the most recent filings showing zero infested units between October 2023 and December 2024.
