385 Humboldt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 385 Humboldt Street, owned by Duong Nguyen, has experienced persistent rodent issues, particularly noticeable in the past year. Most recently, in December 2024, inspectors found rat activity during a compliance inspection, marking an ongoing challenge with vermin that has been documented through multiple rodent inspections and bait applications from October 2024 through February 2024. The building's rodent history includes initial inspections showing rat activity in the earlier part of 2019 and several compliance inspections revealing similar findings.

A notable health concern emerged in 2019 with two rat sighting complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in April of that year. Despite these ongoing pest management challenges, the building has maintained a strong record regarding bedbug management. Since 2019, all bedbug reports have shown zero infested units, with consistent reporting of eradicated units across multiple filing periods.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirmed no infestations during the 2023-2024 period, continuing a pattern established over multiple reporting cycles. A housing maintenance code violation related to bedbug reporting was recorded in February 2022, though it appears this issue was resolved given the subsequent pattern of timely and accurate bedbug reporting. While the building's age and persistent rodent issues are notable, the successful management of bedbug reporting and eradication suggests proactive pest management in that regard.
