1065A Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit, three-story building at 1065A Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Matthew Ahdoot, has a concerning history of rodent activity that has persisted over several years. The property, constructed in 1920 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced recurring rodent control issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing consistent rat activity. Between February and March 2025 alone, three separate inspections recorded rat activity, with bait being applied in response.

The building experienced its first documented rodent complaints in 2020, with multiple reports filed throughout that year, including one that resulted in found violations requiring follow-up inspections. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed rat activity during inspections in 2024 as well, with several bait applications recorded between March and August 2024. In contrast to the persistent rodent issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years.

From 2020 through the current reporting period (2024-2025), all bedbug reports indicate zero infested dwelling units, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. This consistent lack of bedbug activity suggests effective management of this particular pest, though it highlights the building's ongoing challenges with rodent control. The property has undergone regular inspections and baiting treatments as part of the city's rodent management program, indicating that both the owner and city agencies are actively addressing the pest control issues, though with limited success in eliminating the underlying problem.
