383 Palmetto Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 383 Palmetto Street in Bushwick, owned by Brenda Li, was constructed in 1931 and has had several significant maintenance and pest-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, in September 2021, there were reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to access the property to verify these complaints.

The building also experienced a heating and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in November 2018, which was resolved within two days. A lighting violation was recorded in July 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, though this remains open as of the latest available data. The property has undergone consistent monitoring and remediation efforts regarding pest control, particularly for rats, between 2012 and 2025.

The most recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with a rat activity report in April 2025, though a compliance inspection from June 2025 passed. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past several years, with no reported infestations or eradications in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. The historical data shows a pattern of rodent activity from 2012 through 2025, with several instances requiring bait application and inspections indicating rat activity, though the most recent inspections show improvement with passed compliance checks.
