239 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
239 Melrose Street, a 4-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Laisha Rivera, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) though no violations were issued.
The building has also faced significant rodent issues, with multiple reports from 2023 through 2025 indicating active rat activity, despite regular bait application by pest control services. A cluster of violations was documented in August 2024, including defective vestibule door latches, malfunctioning self-closing doors, and issues with the intercom system and window hardware in Apartment 2, as well as a missing certificate of inspection posting requirement in the public hall.
While the building's recent bedbug reports from late 2023 through mid-2025 show no infestations, the recurring nature of maintenance issues and pest activity suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections and bait applications throughout 2023 and 2024, with the most recent activity recorded in May 2025, indicating continued efforts to manage the pest situation.
