AI summary · updated June 2026

340 Starr Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Luis Hernandez. The property has experienced several recurring pest management challenges over the past few years, most notably with rodent activity. While the building passed recent inspections in 2025 and 2024, there have been multiple instances of rat activity documented in 2024, 2022 and 2019, though most recent inspections have shown improvements. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing no infested units during the previous filing period (2023-2024). However, there was a notable period of concern in mid-2023 when six units were documented as eradicated during the previous filing period (2022-2023).

The building's maintenance history includes several notable violations related to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. In 2024 and 2023, the Department of Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) issued violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were later closed. In 2019, there was also a violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, which was dismissed with a civil penalty paid. While the building has experienced periodic rodent issues, the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 suggest improvements in pest management, though the property has required multiple follow-up inspections to address past violations. The property's maintenance record shows that while there have been consistent challenges with pests, particularly rodents, there have been responsive actions taken to address violations when identified.
