40 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
40 St Nicholas Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ayad Mossaad. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections in 2022-2024 showing violations requiring follow-up inspections, though all subsequent rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 have passed.
Notably, there was a rat sighting reported in February 2022, and while a 2019 complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage was addressed, it was administratively closed in 2024. The building has maintained an impeccable track record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
In terms of regulatory compliance, there appears to be an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports, as evidenced by two class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2024, though the current status of these violations shows as "Closed." Additionally, there was a complaint in December 2018 regarding unauthorized plumbing work, including sprinkler/standpipe issues, but inspection attempts were unsuccessful. The building's overall maintenance record suggests proactive management in recent years, with all initial inspections passing, though there was one instance of rat activity detected in March 2022. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 showed no violations, indicating improved pest management practices.
