1137 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1137 Greene Avenue, owned by Robert Ainehsazan and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, between 2023 and 2025, the property has shown consistent rat activity, with multiple inspections recording this condition and bait applications in March and April 2025.

The building has required ongoing rodent control measures, as evidenced by a series of compliance inspections indicating rat activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 continuing to show problematic conditions. The building has also faced historical maintenance issues, including a period of heat and hot water complaints in April 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate the situation. Earlier maintenance violations from 2016-2018 involved various repairs needed in apartment 1R, including addressing water leaks, plaster conditions, and ceiling issues, as well as security concerns related to the building entrance and stairway handrails.

The property has successfully maintained its bedbug prevention program, with the most recent filings from 2023-2024 showing no infested units or instances of reinfestation. A recent department of buildings complaint from August 2023 regarding illegal conversion was closed with no violations found upon inspection in November 2023. While the building has regularly filed its required bedbug reports showing compliance, the persistent rodent activity represents the most significant ongoing health and maintenance challenge for residents.
