157 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 157 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Narvaez Jr., has shown an evolving pattern of pest management challenges over the last few years since its construction in 1931. Most notably, the building has maintained an annual bedbug reporting compliance record from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent reports from December 2024 and December 2023 showing zero infested dwelling units, suggesting successful pest management in this area despite previous violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The rodent situation has been more complex, with multiple inspections indicating fluctuating conditions. While the building has passed five consecutive initial rodent inspections from December 2023 through June 2025, there have been significant concerns, including reported rat activity in the summer of 2022 (July and December) and early 2023 (January).

Notable improvements are evident, as the most recent inspections have consistently passed, though bait was applied during a February 2023 examination. The building's rodent management program appears to have stabilized in recent months, with no rat activity reported in the last three inspections. The property's inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance and response to pest control challenges, with particular focus on bedbug and rodent management over the past few years.
