248 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 2-family house at 248 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Theodoro Oshiro, is a 2-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1993. The property has experienced ongoing rodent issues over the past two years, with the most recent 311 complaint made in June 2023 regarding rodent-attracting conditions, though this investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations.

The building underwent multiple rodent control measures in late 2023, with bait application occurring between September and November 2023, and inspections revealing rat activity in January and February 2024. While more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvements, with the property passing initial inspections in January and July 2025, the historical pattern suggests persistent challenges with rodent control.

The building has maintained a clean record with regards to bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through the present showing zero reported cases of infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. The property's inspection history indicates regular monitoring and attempted remediation of pest issues, particularly in the past two years, with infrastructure in place for ongoing inspections and treatments as needed. While the building has faced significant rodent challenges, the most recent inspections suggest some level of improvement, though continued monitoring would be prudent given the property's recent history.
