896 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 896 Flushing Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Rebecca Shoval and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring challenges with pest management over recent years. Notably, the building had two housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting in 2021-2022, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The most recent bedbug reports from January 2025, December 2023, and December 2022 indicate no infested or eradicated units during the respective reporting periods, suggesting an improved management of this particular issue. However, the property has faced more persistent difficulties with rodent activity, with multiple inspections revealing varying conditions. Most recently, in June 2025, a compliance inspection passed.

Earlier in 2025, there was confirmed rat activity in May, while in December 2024, an inspection also noted rat activity. This pattern of rodent issues has been documented through multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, with most initial inspections showing either rat activity or passing results, though the presence of rodent activity appears to be the more common finding. The building has generally demonstrated improvement in its pest management practices, particularly regarding bedbugs, while rodent management remains an area requiring ongoing attention, as evidenced by the alternating pattern of compliance and rat activity findings during inspections.
