13 Dodworth Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 13 Dodworth Street in Bushwick, owned by Nelida Rosa and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past two years. Most recently, between January 2023 and April 2025, the building has undergone multiple rat inspections, with December 2024 being the most recent full inspection showing rat activity.

From late 2023 to early 2025, there were numerous instances of rat activity requiring bait application and multiple follow-up inspections, suggesting an ongoing infestation challenge. The building has also faced compliance issues regarding its external low-pressure inspection filings, with active violations recorded in June 2023 for failing to file 2018 and 2020 inspections. In terms of bedbug management, the building has demonstrated effective eradication measures, with all six reported infested units successfully treated and no instances of re-infestation between 2020 and 2024.

The Department of Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance regarding annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been resolved in subsequent years. It's worth noting that while the building has had multiple rodent-related service requests (most recently in January 2024), these were often closed due to prior complaints being filed for the same location. The building's most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed, though this follows a pattern of previous rat activity and bait application.
