357 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, two-family house at 357 Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Nicholas Digruccio, has experienced persistent rodent activity over recent years, with the most significant incidents occurring between 2022 and 2024. Between June 2022 and April 2023, the property was the subject of multiple rodent-related complaints, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) receiving five separate rat sighting reports in 2022 alone.

While some of these complaints were closed due to earlier complaints being filed, two inspections during this period showed rat activity, despite other inspections passing without noted violations. In 2024, following the pattern of previous years, the building underwent regular inspections and bait application treatments, with results showing both rat activity and subsequent successful bait application.

The most recent inspection in August 2024 was passed, suggesting recent improvements in pest management. Additionally, there was one unrelated complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in January 2019 regarding permits, which was also closed without any violations being found during inspection. While the property has demonstrated responsiveness to rodent control measures, with inspections showing both compliance and bait application, the historical pattern of rodent-related issues suggests this has been an ongoing challenge for the building.
