311 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

311 Melrose Street is a five-story, eight-unit residential building constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent activity and sanitation.

Between 2022 and 2025, there were multiple incidents of rat activity noted during initial inspections, with particularly concerning patterns observed in 2022-2023 where several successive inspections recorded problems. While the most recent inspections in April 2025 and November 2024 passed without issues, the building has a documented history of rodent-related challenges that persisted over several years. Other maintenance concerns include a Housing Maintenance Code violation from December 2017, where an inspection found inadequate hot water provision in apartment 2A, though records indicate this issue was certified as resolved in March 2019.

The building has had no reported incidents of bedbug infestations since 2021, with all subsequent annual filings (2021-2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units. A sanitation complaint was filed in September 2022 regarding a dog-related issue, which resulted in health department violations that prompted follow-up inspections, though the specific outcome of these inspections is not detailed in the records provided. While the building's recent inspection results demonstrate some improvements, particularly with the absence of recent pest issues, the property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges that required ongoing attention and remediation.
