1460 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1460 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Alvaro Morocho and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring pest-related issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code, with notices of violation issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating the building has failed to file necessary annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The property has also faced significant rodent-related challenges, evidenced by a pattern of rat activity. Specifically, inspections between 2022 and 2024 show alternating results between passing inspections and finding rat activity, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing a passing result. Notably, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted inspections in 2020 and 2021 in response to rat sightings reports, with the 2021 inspection resulting in violations and follow-up inspections being scheduled.

The building's rodent management history shows some improvement, with multiple passed inspections in 2022-2023, though there have been several instances of rat activity documented through compliance inspections during this period. The most recent rodent-related service request was closed in August 2021, following health department findings of violations. While the recent inspections in 2025 have shown passing results, the persistent nature of both the bedbug reporting violations and the rodent activity over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with pest management in the building.
