74 Maspeth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 74 Maspeth Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Dana Schneider, has experienced several notable pest-related incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though the property passed inspection with no violations found. The building has an established history of rodent-related complaints, with inspections revealing rat activity in September 2024 and repeated rodent sightings in May 2020 (mouse) and August 2023 (rat).

The property's housing maintenance records show persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violation notices in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. However, the building's bedbug reporting history is notably clean, with all reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular concern. The building's recent inspection history shows a mixed picture of compliance, with rat activity noted in September 2024 following a previous inspection that found no violations.

This pattern of rodent-related incidents, combined with the delayed compliance in bedbug reporting requirements, indicates some ongoing challenges with pest management in the building. While no violations were found during the most recent inspections, the documented history suggests that both residents and management have needed to address various pest-related issues over time, though the situation appears to have stabilized in terms of bedbug occurrences. The property, built in 2002, has been under this ownership since at least 2019, with records showing consistent attention to regulatory requirements despite some compliance delays.
