155 Central Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

155 Central Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by David Solaman. The building has experienced recurring rodent activity throughout 2024, with multiple rat sighting complaints recorded between February and March 2024, followed by additional sightings in April and May 2024. While some inspections resulted in "Passed" ratings, others showed "Rat Activity." The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducted several inspections, with violations noted in both February and April 2024 requiring follow-up inspections.

In addition to rodent issues, the building faced an indoor air quality concern in August 2023 related to chemical vapors, which resulted in a Notice of Violation that was subsequently addressed, and there were separate reports of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage in 2021. The building's compliance history includes both active and closed violations with the Department of Buildings (DOB). There are two active DOB violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding failure to file inspection reports for boiler and external low-pressure systems, respectively.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with all official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. There have been multiple professional certification compliance audits conducted in 2018-2019 that found no violations. Recent permits issued in 2018 indicate work related to exterior modifications, though specific details on the nature of this work are not provided in the records. The building has shown an ability to respond to some violations, as evidenced by the correction of the 2023 indoor air quality issue, though the recurring nature of rodent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with pest management.
