179 Woodpoint Road, Brooklyn, NY 11211

179 Woodpoint Road, a 5-story, 14-unit residential building in East Williamsburg owned by Michael Degidio, has experienced several notable maintenance and pest control challenges since its 2009 construction. Most concerning is the recent rodent issue, with a rat sighting reported in March 2024 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2024 related to failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous bedbug reporting periods (2012-2023) showed no recorded infestations. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2024, with findings indicating rat activity in April and May, followed by a series of bait applications in September and a compliance inspection in October that passed.

Historical data shows the building faced similar rodent issues in 2011, with failed initial and compliance inspections for "Other Reasons," while building code violations from 2020 and 2021 were resolved by late 2022. The consistent need for pest management and the recent health department involvement suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control, though recent inspections indicate some progress toward resolution. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements since 2023, showing no infested units during the last reporting period.
