59 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 59 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Claudino Ferreira and constructed in 1931, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 (with the most recent in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, indicating potential issues with pest management compliance.

The building has also experienced significant rodent infestation problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2025. Specifically, there were initial inspections showing rat activity in August 2022, April 2024, March 2025, and multiple compliance inspections indicating either continued rodent issues or passed inspections, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest control.

The most recent service request, filed in December 2023 and closed in January 2025, was related to a mobile food vendor equipment issue addressed by the NYC Health Department, though this appears to be unrelated to the building's internal conditions. The property's rodent control history shows some variation in compliance, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a passing grade, while earlier inspections in 2024 and 2022 generally indicated rodent activity. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with both pest control and adherence to required reporting protocols, with violations spanning approximately four years and multiple inspections showing rat activity.
