200 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 200 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Vilma Ocon, has a notable history of pest management issues, particularly regarding rodents. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring rodent-related problems, with multiple documented rat activity incidents and bait application treatments between 2014 and 2022. Most recently, in 2022, there were at least two documented rodent complaints and inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including conditions attracting rodents in May 2022.

The property has maintained an up-to-date record of bedbug reporting over the past three years (2021-2023), with no confirmed infestations, suggesting adequate pest management protocols for this particular issue. The building has faced some sanitation concerns, with the most recent complaint in May 2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions. However, this complaint was inspected by HPD and found not to violate housing laws, resulting in its closure.

Previous sanitation-related violations occurred in 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to the requirement for annual bedbug reporting under Housing Maintenance Code regulations, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property's most significant health and safety concerns appear to be historical in nature, with recent inspections showing improved compliance, particularly regarding bedbug management where no infested units have been reported in the past three filing periods. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing management of pest control issues, though the presence of multiple rodent activity reports over several years indicates these challenges have persisted over time.
