1486 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 1486 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Reina Rental, Llc, has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues over the past several years. Most recently, in July 2025, there was documented rat activity following a series of inspections where the building had previously passed rodent inspections in early 2025 and throughout 2024.

A significant complaint was filed in 2021 regarding rat sightings, though this complaint was closed without violations being found during the inspection. The building has a history of property management responsiveness to rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple inspections and service requests.

The building's maintenance history also includes two notable incidents in 2018-2019: one in December 2018 concerning illegal plumbing work (including sprinkler/standpipe issues) and another in May 2019 that triggered a Professional Certification Compliance Audit, though neither resulted in formal violations at the time of inspection. However, as of 2025, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the dwelling units since at least 2019, with consistent reporting showing zero affected units each year from 2020 through 2024. The property has received various building permits between 2018-2019, including for plumbing (PL) and exterior work (EW), which suggests active management of building maintenance and improvements.
