229 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-unit, two-story building at 229 Starr Street in Bushwick, owned by Juan Muentes, has exhibited several notable patterns regarding maintenance and pest management since 2019. Most recently, in July 2025, the building passed its rodent inspection, continuing a trend of improved pest management.

However, between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple instances of rat activity noted during street inspections, particularly in January and March 2023, and July 2024. The building's bedbug reporting record has been consistently clear since 2021, with all annual reports showing zero infested units in the most recent filings from 2023 and 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.

The property has had minimal complaints requiring intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with only one recorded incident in August 2019 concerning paint/plaster issues on the walls, which was investigated but resulted in no violations. A bedbug reporting violation was noted in March 2022, though this appears to have been rectified as evidenced by the subsequent clear bedbug reports. The building's overall inspection record shows a pattern of regular compliance checks, with most recent inspections passing successfully, indicating generally responsible property management practices with respect to both rodent and bedbug monitoring.
